Have you ever seen an elephant fly?

I'm popping this one up today, not due to any photographic virtue, but because it's a thing I have not seen before. And the light was gloomy as hell today.
A beaver's dam just north of Balquhidder, and short of LochEarnhead. 
Tied three rides together, to fill the gap between Balquhidder and Lochearnhead. 40 kilometres, and feeling tired now.
I need to find my ideal 'stop off' point: 40k seems about it.
Today's ride was more philosophical than joyful, but no less pleasant for that. 
My observations of cycling 'types' continues. :-)
