Elephant

This elephant statue was covered in succulents. They are now looking rather sorry for themselves, in fact most have died off. I'm not sure how or even if these poor plants ever got water!

OMG this is the coolest thing - I am so sorry that the succulents died. Wow, how amazing !!

[Therese]

wow, this is pretty fabulous, pity the plants had to die, though!

[Candace]

Cool idea, perhaps they will grow back?

[Lois]

Great find!

A elephant made of dead flowers - some things you can´t make up :-). Must have looked very cool when it was fresh. I agree it looks rather sad now.

Wonderful capture and I like the figure underneath adding to the composition.

@taffy I thought about cloning him out but decided that he gave the elephant a good perspective! Plus it would have taken a lot of time and effort to take him out :-)

Amazing - love the man underneath - sitting in the shadow of the elephant.

[mervyn hobbs]

That is very good.

[Suse♡]

Oh yes, por plant indeed! It does look like more realistic with the brown colour thou. Love that human element

[Gillian]

oh, how sad! Is this in Tulbagh?

[Al Bailey]

Sad that the succulents died .... but it does give a lovely texture to the elephant :)

[summerfield]

sad, yes, but now it looks like a real elephant with that colouring and as al bailey commented, the lovely texture!

[Susan Golding]

Amazing find. Must have looked even more when courted green with plants!

[Sue Wilde]

I love the guy using it for shade

[Jo Ann Bellone]

love him

[Sally Ings]

@kwiksilver no, Gillian it's in Riebeek Kasteel

[Leana Niemand]

At least it is still providing shade LOL

[Eric di Bosco]

Quite funny! It's going to take some time to get covered again!

[Gena Pegg]

Make a lovely shady spot to sit! The dried succulents make great texture, but I bet is was lovely when first planted. Nice capture

[seasnappi]

cool idea but it would have been perfect if it were growing there!

[Lyn Berriman]

Amazing! Lovely capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Poor thing- it really looks sad. But at least it still offers some shade.
