At the moment there is an exhibition/conservation campaign going on through the streets of London called the Elephant Parade. The aim is to raise £2 million for the Asian Elephants as well as to help 20 British Charities. There are 250 brightly coloured and painted Elephants in completely random places all over Town, each decorated by a different artists and celebrities including Sir Terence Conran and Tommy Hilfiger. We didn't manage to see all of them but here are a few of them:
Those are just too cool! I hope they raise lots of money.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you got to see the Queen AND Bon Jovi. (you know where my priorities are! LOL j/k)
@uthostage.......They are awesome...wish I could afford to bid on one! Bon Jovi were out of this world brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cool elephants around London! It would be great to own one. But, where would you put it? Plus, I bet the shipping would be a fortune.
ReplyDelete@Jen......I'd put it in the garden but think they will go for thousands so definitely can't afford one!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are great pics. I was involved in doing pigs for NC and it was not only fun, as an artist, but alot of HARD work...they do brighten up a place...hope you reach your goals...come visit when you catch your breath...
ReplyDelete@Sharlene.....Thanks hun! It was awesome but I can only imagine the hard work that went into them! Will be by for a visit real soon!
ReplyDeleteThe 3rd one is my favorite. The one with the little bear on top is a bit odd. Is elephant riding a common bear activity that I'm unaware of? :p
ReplyDelete@LambAround.....What? You've never heard of it ;-) I think my favourite is the last one that's almost camouflage.....Amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool photos!
ReplyDeleteStopping by via SITS
I would love to have one of those in my yard! Wouldn't that make a great conversation piece? Thanks for commenting on my blog, too!
ReplyDelete@Catherine....Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDelete@LBDDiaries.....It would be awesome but people would maybe think we're a bit crazy ;-)
Those are beyond cool! To see them in person would be awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThe third & last ones are my favorites too! (or is it favourites???) Looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool exhibition! Nice to do the touristy stuff in London - we live so close but don't do enough of it!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I love all the elephants =-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I think the last one is my fave!
ReplyDelete@Sara....Come to England hun!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Grandma Sharon.....I love the last one! What a brilliant idea! Would fit really well into my Garden too although I may never find it again ;-)
@Muummmmeeeee......I love doing Touristy stuff! We did Trooping of the Colour too!!!
@Krysten......I wish that we could've seen all of them but we just didn't have time!
ReplyDelete@Christa.....Awesome isn't it???
These elephants are fab aren't they? You're reminding me that I've only seen a couple so far, and I need to take the boys to see more. Think we'll head to the South Bank sometime soon. Great pix!
ReplyDelete@Babes about Town.....They're great...I wish we'd had time to see more but am hoping will catch the rest when I'm down in London for CyberMummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the elephants, they're gorgeous, there's one in Coutts that's very bling and some great ones in Covent Garden
