 I have no idea what they were doing. It was indeed so odd and puzzling that there were gobs of folks standing around watching, and no one else knew what they were doing either.

There's this shopping mall kinda thing in Frankfurt and on the second'ish floor of this glass sided building, it appears as though a giant meteor hit it and went through, creating giant dent and a space through the mall. It is, however, built that way; it looks very, very odd. These guys (and gals) were doing something, strung up by ropes, in the "hole" that is created through this building.

I fully expect this to tank in scoring, but hope perhaps one or two people are intrigued enough to come back after the challenge and see what it is.

Here is a wider view:



And an alternate:



Apparently it had just been revealed and everyone was checking it out - made it easy to shoot random candids without being noticed.

Excellent shot, reminds me of a sci fi image for sure, like the inside of the ISS, I really think this is not out of the box, could have scored higher because you took an enviornment and made it a space ship.
