Go! Rhinos: this is Augustus

Today Ray took me 'on safari' in Southampton around the rhino trail by Marwell Wildlife. Augustus is one of 36 outdoor rhino sculptures on location in the city until the autumn when they will be sold at a charity auction. Augustus was created by students from a local college and stands across the road from the Cenotaph.
What a fascinating looking Rhino and interesting story. Love it. Great shot, Hazel.

There will be more! And I'm interested you had cows as today I heard a mum tell her toddler as he approached a rhino sculpture: 'No dear, it's not a cow, it's a rhino.'

I think we have to go back to see the rest as we found out near the end that some rhinos are inside buildings too!
