Copenhagen, Denmark
This summer, Dan and I were fortunate enough to see one of the largest outdoor art exhibitions ever held in Copenhagen, Denmark! The exhibition consisted of 102 baby elephants, cast in fiberglass, decorating the cityscape and providing another attraction for us! It was wonderful treat walking among the countless abandoned bicycles and quiet canals that morning.
Like Wings in the City, Elephant Parade Copenhagen gave selected Danish artists and designers the opportunity to work on a new and entirely different canvas: a life-size fiberglass baby elephant!
In addition to raising funds for the conservation of the Asian elephant, Elephant Parade Copenhagen showcased the talents of these Danish artists and designers. The fiberglass elephants allowed for multiple forms of artistic expression and, with its flowing lines and charismatic energy, represent an interesting and organic canvas.

I stand with Fragile Beauty by Jose van Weert in Copenhagen's Botanical Garden.
Even his Royal Highness, the Prince Consort of Denmark, was a participating artist, designing his own elephant to help raise funds for the endangered Asian elephant!
Last month, the elephants were auctioned off by Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers, with the proceeds going to the preservation of the Asian elephant.
Have a great beginning to your week!
