A snake eating an elephant? Or a hat?

Today was another long bus ride, so I figured I'd show you this little gem of a photo. For anyone who has read the book The Little Prince, the shape of this island may look familiar. Antoine de Saint Exupéry spent a lot of time in Patagonia, and several of the drawings in the book are supposed to have been inspired by the landscape down here. This little island, called Isla de los Pájaros, was supposedly the inspiration for the narrator's first childhood drawing.
