What's "wrong" With This Picture?


I am not going to tell you where this is, if you haven't guessed already.  It is a nice picture of a lovely home.  But there is something unusual about the photograph.  Can you find it?   Click on the image to see it in more detail, please.

Scroll down for the answer...













This is the answer.  There is an elephant's trunk which you can see at the top of the stairway in the first picture.  This is the whole elephant's head and trunk.  It is a "trophy" that George Eastman shot in Africa.  It is installed in the solarium at the George Eastman House, where George Eastman ate breakfast every morning while a student from the Eastman School of Music played the pipe organ for him.

Got it! Very weird to see an elephant roaming around on the second floor. Cool shot!

Good thing you gave me the answer because I did not imagine an elephant although I noticed the blue in the photo. A lovely staircase in the grand foyer.

Hi, Ken...I'm late on responding...maybe you will eventually read this. I recognized it immediately...knew what it was...but failed to respond because I find it gross and disgusting. That elephant would be evermore beautiful in life. We hate sport hunters...and hunters in general. This is despicable...Shame on The Eastman House for displaying this monstrosity!! Pity the elephant on display...and God bless his spirit. Babs
