Now that is what I call and Easter Egg

I love roadside attractions. I particularly like the giant ones. This large egg is in Vegreville, Ab. It is about one hour away from where I live. On the way home from our trip I just had to stop and get a shot of it. It is located in a very nice park area which I also enjoyed getting some very nice shots of too. If anyone has pictures of roadside attractions I would love to see them sometime. Trust you will enjoy this one

Love the Easter Egg!! But, it won't fit in any basket! lol Great clarity and color. Love the water and whole composition.

@karenann Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it

[mag]

Wow...that is terrifying.....It's like a Hindenburg Zeppelin egg......

[Angie]

what an interesting sculpture. The question "why" and "how" seems to pop in my head. I'll bet it is interesting to see in person.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

That is one big egg. Great capture of it.

[Missy B]

That is awesome! I'm really enjoying your photos!

[bkb in the city]

@missyrosebee I am so glad to hear that. I really enjoy taking them and sharing them as well

[Brian Baptie]

@sls It is really neat to see in person

[bkb in the city]

@maggotx Interesting perspective on it

[bkb in the city]

@bdb3471 looking forward to seeing that

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I don't have any roadside attraction shots that I can post here, but you should check out @bruni 's 3rd album. She's got a famous Atlantic City attraction posted there- the giant elephant Lucy. I forget what date it is posted on. Anyway, I love the giant Ukranian Easter Egg. But things like this always make me think that some people have too much time and money on their hands!

[Kerri]

Cool

Wow what a gigantic egg..did you say there are more of the in the park?
I read Ann's comment where she mentioned me and "Lucy" the elephant I posted..take a look.

[Mary]

Nice egg, must be a big Easter bunny!

[Bob G]

What a great find. I think they used those to make the Flintstone 3 minute eggs.

[naladka]

I thought it was mostly American thing - glad you enjoy it in Canada too :)

[Paula]

I remember seeing this when I was small! Love the randomness of it:)

[bkb in the city]

[Ellen E]

wow - that's a big egg! I am also a fan of roadside attractions - the bigger the better! I don't think I have any in my 365 project, but here is a link to one in my picasa album of one of the giant dinosaurs at Cabazon (as seen in PeeWee's Big Adventure): https://picasaweb.google.com/115381495125804593205/SightseeingWithEllenTodd#5235545455236927474

It is beautiful. It looks like the traditional psanky egg. Love the angle and the location near the water.

[bkb in the city]

@allie912 Well it is in a strong Ukranian Community so they did a great job with it

[Maaikel]
