The Elephant Tower building in Bangkok, Thailand

At least it’s not pink. . . . September’s photo shows the 32-story Elephant Tower building in Bangkok, Thailand. (You don’t see an elephant? Check out the “tusk” on the front and the round “eye.”)

Twelve readers got the correct answer, and JO ELLEN RYAN of Davis, California, won the drawing. With her answer, she added, “My husband and I saw this amazing building last year while on an OAT tour of Thailand. Our wonderful guide, whose nickname was Joe, lives near ‘The Elephant’ and told us that not everyone in Bangkok loves it. We thought it was an amazing structure and would have liked to have seen it close up.”

We thank William J. Hurley of Princeton, New Jersey, for sending the photo.
