May 7, 200619 yr comment_1011573 Re: Mechanical Elephant in London I have just had a WTF Moment. Some marvelous pictures, but what is it all about? A movie, a theme park, or what? I suppose it's advertizing something, but blast me if I can figure out what. Wonders if there's a giant mechanical palindromedary
May 7, 200619 yr comment_1011690 Re: Mechanical Elephant in London It's street theater (or perhaps I should spell it "theatre"), as it says clearly in the photo captions. I must say, a 40-foot mechanical elephant is much cooler than an 80-foot mechanical tarantula.

I suppose it's advertizing something, but blast me if I can figure out what. Wonders is there's a giant mechanical palindromedary Yep, it was put together by a French theatre troupe, who specialise in "events". An earlier parade in France where they showed this elephant machine thing was posted a while back, including some keen videos. Some UK events organisers saw it iand thought it was cool, so they brought it to London I'm a bit annoyed the show was this weekend - I'll be in London next weekend and would have liked to have seen it. Cheers, Mark
