London's Elephants - No. 3 in the series
If you venture into the deepest reaches of Mayfair, you'll find this chappie outside Aspinall's Casino, in Curzon Street. They've made sure he won't escape but if you look at his ear, it looks to me like he gets a few pats for luck on the way in!

post a commentHow cute... This one is my favorite.
In certain eastern cultures, isn't an elephant at your door a talisman for luck? Most appropriate for a casino.
Return of the elephant, lovely
Wow, didn't know there is an "elephant series". No. 1 and No 2 are both posted before I joined the family...but they are really cool. I think this one is not really big so I bet it's perfect for kids to climb on. :-)
I like the idea of a series spread over a month. In my home town we have nine mouse sculptures on main street. It is intended to be a family adventure to find them. I will follow your example and start a series.
Glad everyone likes this one - actually, he was the inspiration to start it.
Manuel - thanks for the idea, you can see I've adopted it. I actually don't know how many there will be in all, it is all a bit of an adventure.
Denton - don't take the Mickey ;-) (Do I have to explain that is an English expression?) Hope to meet the mouse family soon.
Love your elephants! Seems to me there's another one somewhere in Victoria, on the road from the main-line station to the bus station... But maybe you're keeping it as a surprise?
