Ozzy the bull, Birmingham

Continuing with the Birmingham visit. This bull was designed to celebrate Birmingham hosting the Commonwealth games. Its legs, body and head move. Feels huge when you're standing next to it. It now stands in the railway station.

Cool! Nice capture!

@photographycrazy Thank you

What an impressive sculpture. So glad you have people in the photo too because they really give a sense of scale. It is huge.

[Rob Z]

That's really remarkable! The fact that it moves is astonishing...

@onewing Birmingham Bull Ring is well known but I don't know the origin. Homework.

@robz It's interesting and fun when people put their minds together. They've called it Ozzy after a local musician.

@clifford From memory I think it is something to do with bull baiting but would have to check that out. My Auntie Freda and Uncle Jack moved to Birmingham after they left Yorkshire and I have an idea that Uncle Jack told me that once when I was a child.

@onewing Makes sense, must have been a long time ago.

[Steve Joyce]

You could have a lot of fun processing that one.

@sjoyce Absolutely

Great shot of Ozzy!

So this is Ozzy, named after Ozzy Osborne no less! I heard all about him, but this is the first time I have seen an image of him! Maybe another trip to Birmingham is required soon!
