On a recent visit to Pisa airport to meet a friend I saw these very cute sculptures in the grass at the front of the arrival hall.
waiting expectantly
happy to see each other
I’m not entirely sure that these animals live together in the wild.
a dolphin family swims by
never smile at a crocodile
I think they are fairly new at the airport and I’m not sure if they are permanent. Stop by and say hello if you are in the area.

These cute figures have now gone from Pisa airport. Click here to see the new art in its place.
Yes, a very clever idea and one that will appeal to all ages 🙂

They are fun, aren’t they? I hope they are a permanent fixture.

CUTE.
p.s YES you need to do that recipe. Although I have an edited version, without some of the fatty things, as well as honey and a few others so if you would like it let me know and I’ll mail it to you in the e-mail I reply 🙂 It’s delicious!

I have not seen the sculptures before. An interesting addition.

I’m sure they weren’t there in February and it looked as thoughthe grass hadn’t grown properly around some of them.

They look good, but they give the Victa some trouble. Hope the gardeners are careful with the Whipper Snipper.

I think it would be easy to knock off a hippo ear if you weren’t carfeul.

Very clever. I wonder if they’re ambient advertising for something, can’t figure what it could be though!

I love the fact that they are modern and fun. So much in Italy is very serious – great, but serious.
