Odd Shot/ Manic Monday - BIG

Just in case you thought you'd seen everything...

Yep, a pull toy almost as tall as a one-storey house! See the wheels? Someone must have very big children an incredible imagination, I'd say. Did you notice the hinges on the mastodon's ears?

I think this mastodon is great. In fact, he'd look fabulous in my side yard. Or not.
And here's a side view -- just ignore the clutter in the background. ;-) I took the photo from the street because I didn't want to be caught tresspassng tresspass.

FYI: This sculpture is not in East Gwillimbury, but in a town east of here. Not too, too far away though. ;-)

This post is doing double service: it's an Odd Shot and a Manic Monday BIG shot. ("big shot" LOL)
