I just had to go. More photos can be found in the photo gallery.

The giant pride of 100 individually decorated, life-size lion sculptures took up residence in Bath during the summer of 2010, I just had to go!

The Lions are due to be rounded up in October – when some of those that have escaped the city will hopefully be reunited with their friends. More photos can be found in the photo gallery.

Elephant Parade is a conservation campaign that shines a spotlight on the crisis faced by the endangered Asian elephant. Brought to you by www.elephantfamily.org, the event sees over 250 brightly painted life-size elephants (each is decorated by a different artist or celebrity) located over central London – I think I have found 53 so far (31st May)!.

They are due to be rounded up and on parade later in June – might have to go and see some of the 200 I have yet to find. More photos can be found in the photo gallery.

While walking the Southern Upland Way, I came across a seemingly abandoned arch on the top of Benbrack (during day 4 of the walk so I feared I was hallucinating from the exertion of walking).

Quite a while later it all clicked into place – it was better signposted from a road than approaching by walking!

Striding Arches is an artist-led project ‘which celebrates and interprets a little known area of Dumfries & Galloway in south-west Scotland’. Andy Goldsworthy’s red sandstone arches ‘stride’ around a natural amphitheatre deep in the Southern Uplands.

The Arches are formed from 31 hand-dressed blocks of red sandstone from a nearby quarry, each arch stands just under four metres high, with a span of seven metres, weighing approximately 27 tons, and is totally self-supporting.

So that explains it!  Glad I didn’t have to carry a piece up there.

Earlier in the month I got a postcard, it was a picture of a pig in Bath – and I just had to check it out.

King Bladud’s Pigs in Bath was a summer 2008 public art event to celebrate Bath, its origins and its artists. Over one hundred life-size pig sculptures turned into works of art are on display throughout the summer all around Bath and beyond. I managed to find 59 pigs – all of the photos are here.

All the pigs are due to be rounded up at the end of the month, and auctioned off in October.  I hope they will be herded into one area prior to the auction as I would certainly head back to Bath to check them out.
