There were several other pianos that I didn't see.
If you're curious about the other designs or would like to

This is such an interesting array of whimsical art works. And you can still play on the pianos too. What a wonderful idea. Maybe on a sunny day you can photograph the rest of the parade and share with us as well. All we had a few years ago in our city were only decorated cows. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to brush up on my piano playing skills before I visit the others.
DeleteHi sandy,
ReplyDeleteMany of our UK cities host these very unique art installations on an annual basis. The works stay in place all around the city for a few weeks and are then generally auctioned off for charity.
My favourite one this year, was this display put on in London ...

I have never seen one done with pianos though and I particularly like The Mount Rainier collage.
Great post and I hope that you are enjoying your weekend,
Yvonne
Thanks for the link to the London art installation. Delightful! It takes an artistic person to look at a bench and envision it as a book.
DeleteWhat a great display! And these are definitely some unique pianos. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your beach day post. Makes me want to head for the ocean!
DeleteWhat an interesting exhibition.
ReplyDeleteWow! How cool is that! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was cool, too -- especially since you could actually play the pianos. (Well...assuming you know how!)
DeleteWow, those piano's look great. Thanks for sharing.

This looks so creative. No wonder you rushed out to get some pictures.
ReplyDeleteI was fun driving and walking around town to try to find them. I had a great time.
DeleteThis is so inspired! What great fun. I hope the rain didn't damage anything:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed today's post. The rain was just a sprinkle--just enough to frizz my hair.
DeleteI love this sort of thing too- it's fun seeking them out and finding your favourites. I've been rhino hunting this year.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I would have loved to have seen these.
