Going For A Ride

 

This sculpture by the Australian artists Gillie & Marc is found on King St W and is quite popular with everyone. I had to wait until the back seat was empty of people before getting the shot. The artists' famous dog and rabbit are out for a ride with a big guy. I didn't notice the couple on the left having a big hug until I saw it on the computer.

Eine sehr interessante Skulptur der bekannten Künstler. Ich habe ein Objekt mit dem Titel: " A Little More Hope“ in Berlin gesehen. Ich finde es gut, dass sie sich weltweit aktiv für den Tierschutz, Artenschutz und den Erhalt der Artenvielfalt einzusetzen

Gillie & Marc are terrific sculptors and I've not seen this work before., and it is one of their better ones. I am so pleased you have this in your city.

I love it! I remember seeing some of their sculptures in London. They are always fun to find.

What a fine sculpture, but I'm not sure I would put the Rhino at the front. Rhinos are powerful, but have poor eyesight for negotiating traffic. The dog is dressed so formally with a suit and necktie. Yes, I would love to have my picture taken in the back seat.

Weird but interesting sculpture.

Certainly an eye-catching sculpture. I wonder who dreams them up - and why.

And, yes, RedPat, I thought, "ha!" I know the last two, they also cycle in Perth :-)
But.. If I am correct they were naked!
