    thanks to the recent update of Google Maps, my dad, through curiosity,
    found this image of a person riding a giraffe unicycle. As seen from
    space.
    this is in the main square of Munich.

    See that square of people? they're crowding around something...🙂
    look at the shadows

    Needle in a Haystack much?

    What primitive lifeforms inhabit this planet when the simple concept of
    a wheel causes such an iterest 😄

    this happened when the circus was in town, not just a street performer
    about 4km WSW of the performer is a huge blue tent (in the middle of a
    park like clearing, you cant miss it if you zoom out and move left)
    labeled Krone
    A Google search of 'Krone circus' yielded this result: 'Circus Krone'
    (http://www.circus-krone.de/en/index.html)
    the unicycle also looks like its a twelve footer, so the pole like
    object to the left of the performer may be a ladder...

    Looks as though the unicyclist's partner is standing directly in front
    of him/her, holding clubs (?) and about to start passing - fantastic.

    Uni, at least in my view of the shadows. Plus, no offense, I don't
    think stilts would pull a crowd like that.

    Really cool find.

    Perhaps there were unis to pull the crowd together and now they're
    stilts, and people are like: ok, they suck, unis were much better, but
    let's not go yet, they will get sad.:p

    There looks to be one in front of the opera house in Covent Garden too -
    if so, then he/she isn't performing or is so bad that only one person
    is watching 😄 Can't work out how to get a url for the exact location
    in googlemaps, but if you look right in front of the opera house at
    highest magnification you can just about pick it out - not a giraffe,
    or only a short one.
