Elephants on the Loose

Elephants on parade at Raffles Place.

Have you been spotting the elephants on the loose around town?

The Elephant Parade has come to our shores. While we didn't set out specifically on an elephant hunt, we have been coming across these guys around town. 2 at the Botanic Gardens, 2 at Fort Canning, and a whole bunch at Raffles Place. It's like a pleasant surprise -- you'll never know when you'll come across an elephant in your path! Noey has taken to the Ellie's we chance on real well, happily posing with each one for me, even climbing on one of them when I took out the camera.

I like having art like that randomly scattered around town. It adds a certain vibrancy to the city. This event is for a good cause too, with it's message of conservation. Part of the proceeds from an auction of the elephants will go towards The Asian Elephant Foundation to support its work of protecting the Asian elephant from extinction.

There are a whole bunch of events and contests being run in conjunction with this exhibition which you can find on the Events Page here. In addition, our favourite children's clothing label Elly is also holding a contest where you can win attractive prizes just by snapping and uploading photos of yourself with the elephants. Check out their Facebook page for details.

Happy hunting! And don't forget to enjoy the elephants!
