Wolves Wild

Ape images, graffiti on supports of one of the railway viaducts crossing the Staffs & Worcs Canal as it passes between Aldersley and Oxley.

Not the Gornal legend: these pigs with personality were graffiti in a quiet street on the edge of Brussels, city of comics, some years ago.

Some garden ornaments, some gatepost decorations (an alternative to the usual lions or eagles) and a couple of bronze statues in the form of lambs and piglets.

Animated moose (or perhaps elk or reindeer) on one of the beer stalls in the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market.

The larger than life-sized head was making a return after missing the last year or two.

It’s Christmas, so it’s time for a change of pace. The next few posts won’t be pictures of actual wildlife. Instead, they will be of portrayals of animals that have caught my eye on my travels.

For starters, the Birmingham Bull Ring bull. The statue gets a costume for the Christmas season.

Here is this year’s. For comparison, check out the earlier posts with the 2013 costume, and showing the bull unadorned.

Carrion crow on Bushbury Hill, checking whether I am getting too close for it to carry on searching for food in the short grass.
