Overactive imagination?

So every week I take the Hankyu line to Kobe, at least once. And somewhere between Takarazuka and Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, I gaze in wonder upon this archetectural marvel! I had come to believe it was perhaps the discarded shell of some ancient sea monster, possibly defeated by Godzilla himself. Today, upon investigation, I was disapointed to see it was indeed the Hanshin racetrack, just as Becki suggested, and up close it looks less like an aquatic behemoth and more like a man-made structure. I have included, for your delectation, a picture of said racetrack plus an artist's conception (uh, mine) of a possible prehistoric crustacean of similar proprtions. Reminds me of those creepy Ohmu things from Nausicaa. Tomorrow I might investigate another archetectural phenomena I've seen around here. Someone has to!
