Eldorado

A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,

And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?"
"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied—
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
And on top of it all, I learned a new word: bedight. I suspected a typo but it is actually a word.

I’ve been to the southern most boabab in the Kruger Park in South Africa, i.e. I know that boababs don’t like colder climates. So when I saw this one, near Frankfurt am Main in Germany, I knew something was not right – despite the giraffes and zebras milling about.
The location is a give away – as is the door – this is an artificial baobab. They wanted to create an African atmosphere at the Opel-Zoo but doesn’t it look absurd with the rest of the German landscape and plants around?
