Elephant Parade London – hunt 2

A few weeks after the first Elephant experience my partner and I decided to get our cameras out and go on hunt number too.

Below you will find loads more images of some of the amazing art we saw on this great adventure.

The Elephant Parade has now come to an end, however if you are still interested in buying some miniature elephants you can do so at Foubert’s Place until the 23rd July or Selfridges until the end of August.

The event seems to have been a great success with the main website saying the following with regards to the money raised.

From all of us at Elephant Family we thank, honour and salute you for your astonishing generosity.

Elephant Parade put a smile on your faces, but not half as big a smile as you have put on the faces of endangered Asian elephants.

We DOUBLED our target – a staggering total of 4 MILLION pounds!!!

You are the generation that have helped return the forests to the elephants – a true gesture of grace in perpetuity.

So sit back and enjoy the wild life.

I one thing I loved about this little adventure was that we also got to take in some of London’s wonderful sites.

As you can see above on the left that I managed to find the rare Green African Elephant

nothing like home chicken salad to to give you that energy boost that we need.

Hi Madeba

what better to do when you hot than to take a “shower”  :-)

And finally ended the day with a lovely meal at http://www.busaba.com/

Which Elephant was your favourite?

Elephant Parade London – hunt 1

Today was a very exciting and fun day out with my other half.

We decided to spend the day hunting elephants all around London. As part of the Elephant Parade in London 258 brighlty painted elephants have been placed all across London in the hope that people will become more aware of the problem that Asian Elephants are now facing.

Each elephant was painted by either a different celeb or artist with their own inspiration and ideas. All the elephants will be auctioned off at the end of the conservation event between the dates of 24th June – 4July at the Royal Hospital Chelsea so up and get out there. If you love the elephants as much as I have you might even want to buy some miniture ones which can be done from this site.

Before setting off you on your big hunt, be sure to plan your route carefully, because as we found the time seems to fly away, and the elephants aren’t always that easy to find. #

Here is a map to help you get started.

Finally here is a link to artists involved, and may I say what a wonderful job you have done

I hope you enjoy the pictures that I took of the elephants we managed to find on day 1.
