    Rosie the Elephant and Zoo Keeper

    August 7 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    This cheeky piece of sculpture was spotted while popping into Sainsbury's. A drive by video was all we could manage but researching what it was all about gave us the detail below and the close up photo:

    Five miles of steel wire woven and twisted to create an elephant with a stork on her back and a monkey by her trunk. A figure of a zookeeper is sited a short distance away. The composite sculpture marks the site of the Oxford Zoo in Kidlington in the 1930s.
