I finally saw The Big Duck on Long Island. I actually went out of my way on this trip to make sure I did. After going out there for the last 4 years, I figured it was time.
It is, in fact, a big duck. I wasn't sure what to expect size wise and it was a little smaller that i anticipated, but I realized...DUH, the Duck can't be as big as Lucy, the Elephant - Elephants are MUCH larger than ducks. Life made sense again.
Lucy, my lovely Elephant, resides south of AC (that's how the cool kids refer to Atlantic City...now you know) in Margate http://www.lucytheelephant.org/.
She has been around for 128 years and is 6 stories tall. She has PRIME real estate looking out over the Atlantic. I try to see her when I get to that area. I have others obsessed with her too now. That makes me happy.
When I think about it, I was intrigued all the way back when...
The first animal shaped building I visited was the Big Merino in Australia, http://www.bigmerino.com.au/ww.bigmerino.com.au/.
It is a large sheep in the middle of New South Wales - Goulburn (south of Sydney - north of Melbourne). The light coming out of the eyes and the dags are the things that I remember making the most fun of. That was a great trip with my Aussie family...
