This year there was a bit of fierce letter-writing to the Sydney Morning Herald about the mowing down of sculpture-viewers by joggers who feel "ownership" of the path and let no-one get in their way.
Back to the zebras....according to Wikipedia: "
In 2010, Canberra artists Alan and Julie Aston installed a herd of zebras on Lake George, adjacent to the highway stop commemorating Kevin "Dasher" Wheatley VC, used as a "Driver Reviver" site. They were named Stopper, Reviver, Survivor, and Dasher. They were a sensation, but the Government of New South Wales ordered that they be removed, following a complaint from the leaseholder of the land. They reappeared at Floriade, Canberra in September 2010, along with a baby, George. And now they've visited Bondi!

That's a clever shot for Theme Day! I thoght I was looking at the real thing for a moment.
ReplyDeleteThe stripes on real zebras are unique, like fingerprints. It looks like the artist has made the stripes on these zebras unique as well.
ReplyDeleteThey looked very realistic from a distance when they were on Lake George. We had the kids believing they were real for a while :)
