There is always...

...something majestic about walking these animals. It came very close to me. However, it was of little interest to me than the feed that hung from a tree.

Thank you for your nice comments!
Yes, giraffes are extremely elegant animals. I saw them in the wild in Namibia a few years ago. Of course, I couldn't see them there from that short distance. But an encounter in the free savannah is particularly impressive.
