I thought I saw an elephant. I did, I did.

It is sitting on the traffic island between Union Square east and 14th Street.  
Through the end of May 2012.

Here I am in New York City where I was surprised to find another fantastic piece of public art. This time it is a 2008 bronze sculpture by Spanish artist, Miguel Barcelo, called Gran Elefandret. Behaving like an  urban pachyderm, Gran Elefandret is perched on the tip of his trunk in a position that could only be taught to an elephant by a California yoga instructor.  The highly textured metal surface captures the detail of the rough skin and floppy ears of an elephant.
