They’re everywhere…

Though the Shauns have now left the centre of Bristol, I am still catching up posting my photographs of the ones I managed to capture with my camera.

They seemed to get everywhere, outside the Bus Station was 53. Lamb Chop, a clever Shaun, similar to the diagrams you find in recipe books, but all the “cuts of meat” are named after areas of Bristol.

53. Lamb Chop - Shaun the Sheep

I thought Southveal was clever, as was Westbury on Trymmings.

Outside the Children’s Hospital was 52. Maisy and Friends covered in pictures from the Maisy books.

The 62. Honey was next to St Stephen’s Church, and was surrounded by mud.

61. Honey - Shaun the Sheep

It has also started to rain, so a quick photo, which I think could have been better.

What more soggy Shauns?

As you can see from the fair few blog posts, last Sunday in the rain we managed to find and photograph a fair few Shaun the Sheeps.

Outside the Victoria Rooms was 31. Flock ‘n Roll, a celebration of British music and pop culture.

As well as the union jack paintwork, this Shaun has some badges on him as well.

Some more soggy Shauns

Despite the rain we went hunting Shauns last Sunday.

Over by the back of Park Row next to the Bristol Grammar School we have 29. Thunderbirds Are Go, with Shaun masquerading as Thunderbird 2.

29. Thunderbirds Are Go - Shaun the Sheep

This Shaun has blue LEDs that light up at night, as we were there in the day we didn’t see them. This Shaun is surrounded by mirrors, not sure why, as there aren’t that many hidden details. I like the pointed nose though, which is strange as Thunderbird 2’s nose isn’t pointed!

29. Thunderbirds Are Go - Shaun the Sheep

Outside the Royal West of England Academy we have 30. Rex. This is either Shaun dressed up as a dinosaur…

30. Rex - Shaun the Sheep

…or is it a dinosaur which has swallowed Shaun!

30. Rex - Shaun the Sheep

Up on Brandon Hill is 26. From Dusk ‘til Shaun who, as it was quite wet, was surrounded by mud. He is very bight and colourful taking in both night and day imagery.

26. From Dusk ‘til Shaun - Shaun the Sheep

43. Lotus is outside the offices of the place which started all of this so long ago…

43. Lotus - Shaun the Sheep

…of course we’re talking about Aardman Animations. Looking very much like a Chinese Ming vase, this ornate blue and white Shaun stands guard outside the very offices of the company that created him.

43. Lotus - Shaun the Sheep

See all the Shauns we have seen so far.

In the museum

In Bristol Museum is probably one of my favourite Shauns, 27. Baaack to the DrawingBoard.

27. Baaack to the Drawing Board - Shaun the Sheep

As you can see, this Shaun is covered in storyboards from the original Wallace and Gromit tale which starred Shaun the Sheep, before he went off and got his own TV show.

27. Baaack to the Drawing Board - Shaun the Sheep

You could spend ages looking at this Shaun, which you couldn’t as everyone was waiting to take photographs of it….

27. Baaack to the Drawing Board - Shaun the Sheep

In the entrance foyer is 28. Arabian Lights, and like some other Shauns this one has lights.

28. Arabian Lights - Shaun the Sheep

Didn’t think much of this one myself, difficult to photograph too with the windows behind it.

Starstruck in Bristol (Parkway)

The first few Shauns (about 15)  in the full list of 70 are scattered around Bristol. There are three at Cribbs Causeway whilst number four is at Bristol Parkway Station up in the north of the city. This is 4. Starstruck, a blue Shaun covered in white stars.

4. Starstruck - Shaun the Sheep

4. Starstruck - Shaun the Sheep

This is quite a challenging Shaun to photograph, partly as you really need to drive to find it (or go by train I guess) and the short term car park is full of people not just picking and dropping off rail passengers, but also lots of people like us photographing and visiting the Shaun.

See all the Shauns we have seen so far.

More Soggy Shauns

Despite the rain we went hunting Shauns last Sunday. This time we headed to south Bristol and in my previous post we found two by Ashton Gate and the Riverside Garden Centre. It was then onto the South Bristol Swimming Pool in Bedminster to find 50. Shear-lock Holmes.

To be honest though I lived for five years in Bedminster and Southville back in the 1990s, I didn’t realise or know there was a swimming pool here. So this was my first visit, and we weren’t even going swimming.

50. Shear-lock Holmes - Shaun the Sheep

There are some really nice details on this Shaun, I liked the pictorial links to Sherlock Holmes, the violin, the pipes and the London themes that are all over the sheep. Very cleverly done.

50. Shear-lock Holmes - Shaun the Sheep

I did like Shear-lock Holmes, though not entirely sure about the connection with swimming? Sometimes the Shauns seem very much linked to the sponsor or their location, such as 47. Championsheep, however this one, no idea what the link is.

50. Shear-lock Holmes - Shaun the Sheep

Over in North Street is the bright orange 48. Jasmine.

48. Jasmine - Shaun the Sheep

Like some other Shauns this one is in quite a quiet remote part of Bristol.

48. Jasmine - Shaun the Sheep

See all the Shuans we have seen so far.

Soggy Shauns on a Sunday

Despite the rain we went hunting Shauns on Sunday. This time we headed to south Bristol and the first stop was at the Ashton Gate stadium to find 47. Championsheep.

47. Championsheep - Shaun the Sheep

I initially thought we might not be able to get in, with it being Sunday, the building work and the shut gates, but one thing that made it easier were all the other families and people trying to find it complete with cameras and phones.

47. Championsheep - Shaun the Sheep

This one reflects the location it is in, and is covered in different sports.

47. Championsheep - Shaun the Sheep

After the stadium it was a quick trip to the Riverside Garden Centre in Southville to find 48. Posy.

48. Posy - Shaun the Sheep

Again another Shaun reflecting their location, covered in flowers by a garden centre.

48. Posy - Shaun the Sheep

I have noticed a high number of Shauns with flowers.

See all the Shuans we have seen so far, not long to go now to get the rest in…

In the and around the centre

In and around the centre of Bristol there are fair few Shauns to be found. On our Shaun in the City journey, here are three more Shauns.

This one 36. Green Poems for a Blue Planet can be found close to the Watershed.

36. Green Poems for a Blue Planet - Shaun the Sheep

Quite challenging to get a picture, as it was very busy and popular with people.

36. Green Poems for a Blue Planet - Shaun the Sheep

In front of the steps in the centre, is 35. Beach Boy.

35. Beach Boy - Shaun the Sheep

Looking very much at the seaside, this Shaun probably should visit Weston super Mare now and again. Though he might have trouble finding the sea…

35. Beach Boy - Shaun the Sheep

Looking quite scary and guarding the Hippodrome, is 24. BAA-WULF.

24. BAA-WULF - Shaun the Sheep

Right at the end….

We have found some more Shauns, including some we missed due to the Bristol Harbour Festival.

Right in the heart of Queen’s Square in Bristol is 69. King of the Carnival.

69. King of the Carnival - Shaun the Sheep

Not sure why, but this isn’t one of my favourites. Not sure of the theme, or why it’s King of the Carnival. If you know, let me know in the comments.

69. King of the Carnival - Shaun the Sheep

Over by, what was Wildscreen-at-Bristol and is now the Bristol Aquarium, is 37. Life Aquatic, a fish themed Shaun by the fish attraction.

37. Life Aquatic - Shaun the Sheep

Many years ago I worked for At-Bristol and was in the offices in the old leadworks next to Wildscreen-at-Bristol, which became Wildwalk and then sadly closed.

37. Life Aquatic - Shaun the Sheep

Unlike number 69, the next Shaun and the final one in the list, 70. Justice Lamb, is one of my favourites and looks great. I like the paint effect of the wig and the robe.

70. Justice Lamb - Shaun the Sheep

He can be found on one of the corners of Queen’s Square looking as though he is judging everyone who enters the square.

70. Justice Lamb - Shaun the Sheep

Though it is the final Shaun in the list, we still have a fair few to find and photograph.
