Is the whale that statue to the people who fought in the Spanish Civil War?

I'm really crap at these, and hence don't like this thread... :evil:

I can't belive you actually guessed that correctly... and so quickly!

I thought folks would be stumped for ages on this one. 8O

I'm sorry I'm going to have to say this....

How? How is that the Finnieston Crane? I really don't see it. Is it just me? Is this just a joke that everyone bar me is in on?

Show me how you get the Finnieston Crane from that bloody whales fin. Please. Before my eyes melt.

This is like Magic Eye pictures. Only more bloody annoying.

ok here's my reasoning. its casting a shadow, so it standing upwards. its got two branches as signified by fins. its standing by some sort of line (river wall) and more than likely its going to be blue which is the stereotypical colour for a whale.

tell me, is there anything else in glasgow that it could be??? with this description making the link to the crane isnt too difficuilt. sorry if that sounded patronising but its just a case of imagination.

yokerbloke you shouldnt have given the answer for the secc, would have liked a bit more time on it. was going to guess the kelvinhall but might have twigged the secc. it was a good puzzle though.

I should have left it a bit longer, but it was the whole day. I get a bit impatient sometimes. :wink:
