Surprised giraffe
Surprised giraffe
Can you spot the surprise? Or perhaps you see a giraffe in this photo? I always wonder if architects, when creating their designs, anticipate that someone might perceive a metaphorical message in their construction. Who would have thought that an ordinary pier on a pond in southern Poland would resemble a surprised giraffe when viewed from a bird's eye perspective?
