Back in the summer of 2010 in London I discovered there was an Elephant parade. When I first saw these painted elephants around Covent Garden and Leicester Square near where I work I had no idea what it was about. By the time I discovered they were for charity and painted by different people and organizations for Born Free and there would be an auction at the end, I spend many lunch times hunting them. I was a little too late to get all 250 odd. But here is a link to the ones I got Elephants

Also that year, in my home town of Northampton they did a Pride of Lions. The same principal, but on a smaller scale and with just lions. I'm pretty sure I captured all of these ones and you can see them here Lions

So this year is the year of the safari, to find out more info, click here I didn't capture them all yet but I will attempt to. Unfortunately one that I wanted did get damaged and has been removed for repairs but as the safari is with us until Septembre I'm sure it will return
