When I move into my new, smaller pad in a couple of weeks' time there is a minute "private" patch of garden where this chap would sit/stand beautifully = love it.
Wow...so creative!
I love the sculptures in the Philbrook gardens.
You making a puzzle out of this one? Yikes! It would be complex.
Am I following you or are you following me, Bill! :-D We're playing the same memes. This cool chrome steel hippo is a fabulous one for both!
That´s a creative photo! LIKE
Ah, the days of chrome bumpers, that's one way to immortalize them!
I wouldn't like to bump into this shiny hippo on the walk home from the pub.
Good shot of this sculpture.
I like your choice for black and white.
Regards!
As teenager growing up in Muskogee, trips to Philbrook were often and fun. I don't remember this hippo, but if one were built using car parts today, I doubt it would look as cool.
What a fun shot! All that chrome must have been tricky to photograph.
He looks hungry! What a neat place to find reflections. Nice one!
