Morning Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K folks.Looks like London is gonna' be infested by elephants!!!!!!....
"200 model elephants to cover capital for charity
A HERD of 200 fibreglass elephants is to invade London in a show billed as the capital's biggest public art exhibition.
The model Asian elephants " each decorated by a different artist or celebrity " will be set up in streets, parks and squares this summer.
They will then be auctioned off by Sotheby's in aid of a wildlife conservation project, and it is hoped the event will raise more than £1 million to help save the endangered creatures.
The elephants will be sited from Buckingham Palace to the South Bank, beside Tate Modern and in Parliament Square in May, June and July next year. Each model, which is standing or sitting, is 1.5 metres high and 1.8 metres in length. They are the size of an adolescent elephant and weigh 65 kilos after organisers feared full-sized versions would make streets too crowded.
The men behind the Elephant Parade are father and son team Marc and Mike Spitz. The entrepreneurs " responsible for marketing both the Smurfs and Hello Kitty " decided they wanted to launch a creative international project to aid elephants across the world."
I'll have my camera ready and post a few pics.Looks like a lot of fun.
