EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful snapshot from October 1973, we are transported back in time to the enchanting world of Longleat Safari Park. The focal point of the image is a vibrant red double-decker bus, standing tall amidst a sea of curious onlookers - none other than the majestic giraffes themselves! It seems that these gentle giants have gathered around to inspect the peculiar contraption before an important passenger named Mary boards. The scene exudes both whimsy and humor as we witness these towering creatures craning their long necks to get a closer look at this unusual mode of transport. Their expressions range from quizzical to amused, as if they are engaging in some sort of secret animal council meeting about this new addition to their habitat. Transported back to the 1970s, when fashion was groovy and life seemed simpler, this photograph captures not only the beauty and gracefulness of these magnificent animals but also offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. It reminds us that even in our human-centric world, there is room for unexpected encounters between man-made objects and nature's wonders. This print from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane collection serves as a charming reminder that sometimes it's those spontaneous moments filled with laughter and curiosity that leave an indelible mark on our memories.
