Fancy Bears Invade Birmingham!
So the other day I was walking around Birmingham, and I started spotting these incredible bear statues all over the place. They had not been there the day before, so I was a bit perplexed as to what the hell they were.
Turns out, they are part of an art installation named the "Big Sleuth", which basically is a trail of 100 painted bears all over the city and surrounding area to act as a kind of big treasure hunt. Last year something similar was done, except with giant owls. So, having a bit of free time at the weekend, I decided to spend an hour or so taking some pictures of the ones near me as it was a nice day and I had nothing better to do and figured other people might also enjoy these magnificent beasts.
Below you will find a dump of the days photos, I have only found 11 of them so far, and I might go bear hunting again this weekend and upload more pictures then. All pictures were taken on an OnePlus One, for those interested.
This was the first one I saw. It took a minute to work out what on earth I was looking at...
Let me know what you think of these. Are there any similar art installations in the city you live in? Share them with the rest of us!
They look like uni students work I think ? Keep writeing your page look goods ✌️👍
Awesome post man, great art. We don't have something like that in the Netherlands as far as I know. Keep writing!
Thanks :) I'll probably get a few more up tomorrow, found out there are more of them near my work. I'll be in the Netherlands in the next couple of weeks for a couple of days (near Amsterdam), very excited as I keep being told that it is a beautiful country to visit!
