Ein Zebra genießt die Aussicht vom Balkon. Die Giraffe im Vordergrund riskiert, als Zebra getarnt, einen Blick über die Mauer der schicken Kölner Villa in Rodenkirchen. #bizarr!

Pink building with a balcony from which a zebra is enjoying the view. In the foreground, there's the head of a giraffe (stripey like another zebra), peeking over a tall wall. The entire scene is doubled in the reflection on the roof of a car.

Eine imposante, helle Treppe zu einem Glasportal, in dem sich der blaue Himmel und gegenüberliegende Gebäude spiegeln. Das Portal ist ein weit geöffneter Mund eines Monsters – Nase, Augen und Ohren hoch über der Tür, – welches Besucher beim Eintreten zu verschlucken droht. "Haus der Monster", Fassade aus dem 16.Jhd. "House of Monsters", C16 facade Imposing, light-coloured stairway leading up to a large glass portal which reflects blue sky and buildings across. The doorway is striking because it is the wide-open mouth of a face - nose , eyes, ears high above the door - swallowing up visitors as they enter.
