And I was actually trying to figure out how close that might be to where you live.

What elephant?" But going back to my enlarged picture now, I can see it. Whether it was intended by the artist or not, I cannot say. But suitably, it's in the section with the text "Out of sight"! (If you suppose the eye on the left to be the eye of an elephant and the curved thingy to be its trunk - and ignore the other eye to the right...)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-27131695150198796322016-06-03T11:02:16.852+02:002016-06-03T11:02:16.852+02:00Oddly I immediately saw what I took to be an eleph...Oddly I immediately saw what I took to be an elephant but after you queried it I went back for a second look and now I'm not quite so sure. As for heat it's 11 ℃ here today but feels bitterly cold in the strong northerly wind. I do enjoy all the murals and sculptures though and never get tired of seeing them.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-39607474615449053232016-06-03T07:14:05.439+02:002016-06-03T07:14:05.439+02:00Wait...NEW sculptures??

Boras art is really wonderful! The path in the park is so beautiful! You would never know you are right by a busy city! It has been really hot here, too. About 90 some days. I like the murals, and I remember my old buddy Pinocchio! I am glad he is still there walking.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-34625640265457087642016-06-03T07:06:25.780+02:002016-06-03T07:06:25.780+02:00Elephant?

You have probably heard of the floodings after thunderstorms, with several places in south Germany badly affected (with some dead), namely a small place called Braunsbach, maybe 1 hours' drive from where I live.<br />My town did not have anything so catastrophic, but we're as far from heat as we were last month...<br /><br />I remember you having posted about the Pinocchio sculpture before. And the azalea/rhododendron are beautiful - good job you went there while they're still in bloom!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-34649116570509648742016-06-02T21:25:20.973+02:002016-06-02T21:25:20.973+02:00it is good to have all that beauty right there nex...it is good to have all that beauty right there next to the noise pollution, to give some beauty to it all. and a good thing you went, because they look like the will bloom themselves out soon. i like the elephant on the wall muralMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.com
