Putting things in perspective

It’s a funny thing with pictures … it’s a bit like with the view through a rear mirror … things might not be the way they appear.

When it comes to photos, they really disguise the size of the object on them … until they are put into perspective.

I often get the question from future guests: “How big is a rhino?” or “How big is a lion?”. When you then say things like “a lion can weigh up to 270kg” (about 70 times the size of a house cat), or “a rhino weighs as much as a pickup truck”, then this usually means something to people.

Or photos like these, they also do the job. 😉
