Thank you, Najinsky, for having had a closer look at my image! Meanwhile I’ve posted the «solution» of the «enigma»... — db.

Reminds me of some kind of bug/beetle. Like when its shell opens to use its wings. -Najinsky

Thank you, CJ, for commenting: if many of you share that whale idea, we might convince the architect to change the name of his «creature». In a few days I’ll show you the architectural context. OK? — db.

Nice one Daniel - Strange whale type creature makes for interesting architecture! CJ

That’s what it looks like to me too, Victor; I’m sure some animal like the whale is what inpired the architect... Thanks for commenting! — db.

Wow! Its marvelous thing! Fish indeed! It also looks to me like a mean animal with a sharp pointy spiky thingy at the top of its head! Great find! -Cat
