Congratulations on the WP Richard. Now you just need to print this VERY large and hang it in your living room. (if you already haven't)

Wow, that's a classic! I remember we tried to get a giraffe silhouette at sunrise 5 mornings in a row with zero success! Not only did you score a giraffe but a beautiful acacia tree as well!
