ANOTHER ELEPHANT
I shared a few days ago a photo of a decorated elephant that celebrated the 150 year anniversary of the Melbourne Zoo. Here is another one, also just outside the Queen Victoria Market. The theme behind all of these elephants is animal conservation. This decoration draws attention to the Orange-Bellied Parrot, a threatened species of native bird.

And, how many people after too many glasses of wine see this elephant and wonder if it is the wine? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my! That's some elephant!
ReplyDeleteNow that is one colorful fellow!! What a fun shot for the day, Nick! Hope you enjoyed your weekend and that you're ready for a great week!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love when a town sponsors a project like this. Not only does it encourage tourism, but also brings art into the area. Chicago had the cows; I've seen pigs and buffaloes and butterflies.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous and pretty elephant!
