An image shows an elephant-shaped rock with a house on top of it. The image is a digitally altered photo of a monastery in Meteora, Greece. An image of a house on top of a rock shaped like an elephant has been shared on Facebook. A caption alongside the image says: Amazing!! The Elephant Rock with a House! The image is actually a digitally altered version of an image of a cliffside monastery in Greece. Various images of the real location are available online, several of which are similar to the digitally altered image. Meteora—a UNESCO world heritage site—is a rock formation which is home to a number of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, including the Holy Trinity Monastery, which can be seen in the digitally altered photo.
