These giant yellow snail sculptures have been located in Queen's Square, in front of the Hyde Park Barracks Museum. Snailovation are brightly coloured snails that were created by the Cracking Art Group. They were installed on city streets and in parks as part of Art and About Sydney, a festival of art in unusual places which ran until yesterday.
Loving the different Snails appearing in your photos from across Sydney Hope you are keeping safe from the terrible Bush fires raging close to Sydney at the moment? Hugs from Melbourne to everyone in Sydney at the moment. Wren
Thanks for your concern, Wren. I live close to the city so our home is not in danger but the whole city has been affected by smoke for the past six days. We have not had rain for a long time and unfortunately today we have high temperatures and winds again which is making things worse.
I hope there's not a rush on the gates because I'm not sure that those snails will be able to cope. They're just so different and unusual but I suppose that adds to their charm. Love that blue sky but worrying about you all over there listening to the horrendous fire reports on the news. Stay safe and take care ;D
Like it, snails on guard

I see snails all over--much like the Cows on Parade in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Jim!
The snails certainly add some vibrant sunshine to the more tame tones of the barracks. The snails are like sentinels.
