Tickling the ivories

June 25th, 2008 Posted in Mundane musings

When I got to the Arts Centre this morning for the last of my “Image Manipulation with Photoshop” lessons I noticed that there was an elephant standing outside it. This isn’t the sort of thing one misses, y’know. Not even at the ungodly hour of 10am.

Examining the beast further - it seemed benevolent enough - I discovered that this is Elephant #26 of a herd which have taken up residence in Norwhag for the next six weeks or so.

Being quick on the uptake I deduced that there must be at least 25 more and decided to investigate further on my return home. It seems I had the correct digits but in the wrong order as there are, in fact, 53 elephants in all according to the GoElephants.co.uk website.

My mission, then, will be to get one of the brochure/maps and then see if I can visit and photograph all 53 elephants in one day. All the locations seem to be fairly central but I’m not sure how I’ll get on photographing those which seem to be indoors. Should be fun, though.

    We had a similar thing in Edinburgh a year or so ago, except it was a cow parade … An interesting photographic mission though!
