Herd of Elephants Puzzle

I started with the lines on the blue water and built straight across the water first then the dark green grass along the bottom border. The 2 biggest colour areas were the elephants and the bolt of thunder. Then the brown shrubbery/grass behind the elephants were next followed by the brush and trees leaving  only the cloudy sky.

I experienced a couple of humps with the  Herd of Elephants puzzle where the word 'daunting' was entering my mind. It seems that more often the pieces just fell into place and I was unsure if they were correct. This ribbon/grid type cut tends to have pieces that fit into more than one place with very little difference. I was really stumped with the trees and the sky so the first half was slow going and the upper portion took a lot more patience.

It was my drive for achievement that kept me moving on as I have been eyeing this one up for a few years now and was determined to see it assembled by me. It was also seeing it assembled by other Group Member Puzzlers that inspired me to tackle it.

The quality is really good with a nice matt finish and the finished image is beautiful.  The Herd of Elephants puzzle by Heye comes highly recommended for a great puzzling experience for those who enjoy a challenge and reap the 'Achievement' reward at the end! This is the only Heye jigsaw puzzle I have assembled but here's another very challenging wild life puzzle I assembled which is gorgeous title the Great Horned Owl - it's worth a look!
