@celialee: It means "cousin" (woman). Still makes no sense...

Well looks like there may be Fresh Fish available at this stand.
On a more serious side - it is sad to see something get flooded like this.

I think it's maybe part of a restaurant terrace's roof or something like that and the word "cuisine" (kitchen) has been spelled wrongly. "Cousine" means "niece", I looked it up, but no sense can be made out of this. Was it taken in a French-speaking area? I'm getting curious.

@Illuci: I know... this is so mysterious and I do not have any answers (after racking my brains for so long over it). This has been taken in a wildpark so it cannot be a restaurant, although I also thought about some mispelling and immediately came up with "cuisine" but still there was none near the area ;)
This was taken in Germany but they also use the french word cousine for cousin. So, you see, we still do not know... the mystery remains!

Vielleicht sind die Tiere di dort normalerweise sind verwandt mit den Tieren nebenan?

@Wolfgang Prigge: Good thought Wolfgang!
But the animals present here were fish, turtles and ducks. The other side was occupied with storks and herons ;)

Seltsam, seltsam! If it is meant for ducks or turtles or other animals it could really be a misspelled "cuisine"! I know a refuge situated in a pond which is called "Duckingham Palace"!!! =^D

Nice, but the reflection on the water is not complete, I wish you could remove that thing in the middle of the left side of the photo. Overall, well done, good luck,

Just bizarre. ... the sign that is. At first I was thinking of alligators and someone had a rich sense of humour but had spelled "cuisine" wrong but having read everyone's comments.. shrug... it's a mystery.

It could also be a person's name. If it's in a wild park it could indicate the area Mr. or Mrs. Cousine is in charge with. Or an animal's species name, only guessing...
