"Elephant In The Room"

 

This 9.5 ft tall elephant has stood in this tiny front garden on Yarmouth Rd since 2003. Originally created by Matt Donovan as a school project it has delighted passersby constantly. I often make a point of going by to see it.

    I love it! He must stand out even more in the winter when the trees are bare.
