30. Predator

As my train was delayed, I was able to get to Temple Quay to photograph a fourth sculpture. Wasn’t planning to get four done today but pleased I did. However, these are all the four which are close to my office. I think I will need to spend some days off or weekends to get them all in before the end of August.

The terror of the deep, Predator, rises fast and flipperous from the ocean’s depths. His razor-sharp fin slices the surface, as his eyes lock on the target. Disguised as a shark and just as deadly, watch your toes when taking a dip.

51. Wednesday

My first Feathers sculpture was hiding outside Bristol Temple Meads, despite arriving by train earlier that day, I didn’t see him until later when I made my way back to the station to catch my train home.

Re-imagined in collaboration with Netflix from the smash-hit series, Wednesday is mysterious with a calculated flair. Smart and sinister, Wednesday joins the trail bringing her signature deadpan look to the streets of Bristol.

1. Aladdin

The first of the Gromits in the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail I captured was Aladdin which was (literally) hiding in the heart of the St Nicholas Market. It was a bit of a hunt to find him, but there were some paw prints leading the way.

Inspired by the classic tale from Arabian Nights, Aladdin twinkles at every turn with jewels, gold and riches, inspiring magic and joy through the realms of his wondrous adventures.

Gromit Unleashed 3

So, 2025 sees another trail featuring Aardman’s characters from Wallace and Gromit.

Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheep sculptures I managed to get 62. In 2018  I was aiming to get all 67 sculptures and was successful.

This year there are 53 sculptures across Bristol. The plan is to visit and photograph all of them between now and the end of August.
