I encountered the Carousel Elephants in the airport at Tampa. Intrigued, I took a few pictures in the cramped space and later wondered what I could do with them. Here are some of my results. |

I first thought of sending the elephants to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This triptych is the ultimate result. The frame shown here is a concept; I later crafted the frame, adding crowns and comedy/tragedy masks in the corners. Mardi Gras Elephants |

Next, I envisioned the elephants as part of the carousel at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This image is made up of parts of a carousel I photographed in Avignon, plus an old photo I took of the Eiffel Tower back in the 1980s (now much distorted), a drawn in coloring-book style sky, and, of course, the Carousel Elephants.

Today, I decided that the Carousel Elephants would like to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and here's a quick rendition of them about to enter The Chestnut Tree pub in County Cavan. Looks like they are enjoying themselves! Happy St. Patrick's Day See an Out of Bounds (OOB) variation on this on the Out of Bounds page. |
