It wasn't me  :P

I've seen them paint these up in an empty shop space in the castle mall for some weeks, so thtas what ther'e for
I think I'll stroll in the city and have a look, the ice sculptures were very good and certainly drew the crowds a little while back.

And Scrumpy ? I may be not far from "The Shed" cider house but hav'nt touched the stuff for years. and as for pulling public stunts to wind people up I han't done a crop circle for ye....... ooops, err you read that  :-X

I've seen a couple of the elephants (apparently there are 53) and very impressive they are too. :)

went for a stroll around the city centre tonight found 22 and that took some walking, apparently there are 57.....

57 ! really!

I've got to say It's 18 years this week scince I've moved to Norwich. I love Architecture and I remember so clearly wandering around the streets of this new place I've moved into. Tonight I've done the same. So many artistic unique buildings, so mant intricate fine details, styles, aspects.

I've seen quite a few places across the uk but here I find captivating, I can understand- dare I say "Beadeker's" view of the city. Once in a while I look a bit more closely, wow!

Floydoid, I can readily recomend the following site  http://www.the-plunketts.freeserve.co.uk/ It's one of my all time favorite web sites.

When I first moved here, shortly afterward radio 1 announced the first ever "Sound City". There was allsorts of live music coming from everywhere for weeks. And then there are always all sorts of artistic events constantly popping up. There are quite a few things which the local council can do ohh so badly to an unbelivable degree. But as an exsample the latest chain of events including this Elephany thing. It's no small undertaking, Ok their all sponsored. However all the exibits are on a substansual base, the sculptures are very well made and secured, and there's the artwork and the idea of scattering them around the city

I've always seen such a good forward thinking enthusiasim for the arts here over and over, I love it

PS if you get the chance to see it my fave so far is the one on Cinema City's site. The elephant is painted as clouds and sky, the only one I've seen with any additions to it (the 3 explorers heads on top) but he way it's painted and as you see it through the railings It seems to be alive in an odd way, quite ethierial

(mind you saying all of the above this is the same city who've decided that instead of looking afterthe pre-medieval city gates and walls, decided to blow most of it up just after the war. It'll be like going to Stonehenge and saying year nice but where's me hammer cos i can do a better patio than that") :o

Yeah this is a wonderful city - I've been here just over 20 years, and almost 30 years in the region.  I'm constantly amazed at the beauty of buildings I hadn't really noticed before.  And yeah I love the Plunkett's site... btw did you read that uncyclopedia Norwich page yet?

It had to happen, but

One of our elephants is missing !

Some one's swiped one of them (just round the corner from the police station too) or maby it walked?

It was the Parrallelephant which is on one of the pictures on the bbc link.

It's amazing in the interest the elephants have caused, lot's of people are talking about them, and there are a fair number of people walking round spotting them. Train/plane spotting I dont get, but this seems a great idea, shame their all going at the end of august

Like where are they going to hide that?
I mean its not exactly like a garden gnome, which you could hide in the shrubs by your goldfish pond..  where ever you put it, its going to stand out a mile.  :D

Well I had to trumpet the news in case you lot were all ears to it. I feel for the artist as they must be livid, seeing pink in fact.

hang on a mo, when I walked past the castle the other day I did see a rat. close enough to a mouse
