Elephants Parade

I've spent a couple of days working in London and was delighted to see a sculpture in the elephant parade. It's a really cool art installation raising awareness of this endangered species. I remember seeing my first elephant at Regents Park Zoo in 1967 and having to choose between a ride on it or a camel. I chose the camel! But how times have changed. The elephants no longer reside in central London but have an amazing enclosure at Whipsnade. People have issues with zoos but they instilled in me a powerful and lasting consciousness of a wider, precious world.
