Ducks.

I have a soft spot for ducklings. Although who doesn't, right?
So you can imagine my excitement when I found out about this international art exhibition by Florentijn Hofman. Known as the Rubber Duck Project 2009, it advertises itself by the following: "The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!"
Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Osaka, Japan.
St. Nazaire, France.


They range in height from 12 - 26 metres. Can you imagine running into one of those? I think at first I would be so freaked out, but then I can imagine staring at it could be a rather soothing experience.
Aren't they a hoot?
