29. Alex the Lion

Gromit as a lion? Well 29. Alex the Lion is one of my favourite sculptures this year and I think Gromit works very well as a lion.

Alex the lion is a character from the Madagascar films. I like the mane effect.

Alex can be found just outside the MShed guarding the Harbourside. I was a little surprised that there are three Gromit in and around the MShed and a Wallace in Whapping Wharf. Not quite sure I understand why they grouped these, but then put others in the middle of nowhere! Ah well.

Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.

28. Gromitronic

In the entrance to the Mshed is 28. Gromitronic a silicon chip themed Gromit.

Covered with wires and flashing lights it looked very impressive.

This was a challenging Gromit to photograph as its background was a window, which was very bright compared to indoors, I had to Snapseed and edit the image accordingly.

27. Oceans 2: Yellow Sub

In the heart of the MShed in Bristol is Oceans 2: Yellow Sub, an underwater submarine themed Gromit.

What I didn’t realise at the time that this was is connected to 22. Oceans 1: Deep Blue in “we the curious” by two way video cameras.

Is it a treehouse if it’s not built in a tree?

Canopy & Stars at Crane 29 is a unique treehouse built around one of the cargo cranes outside M Shed. The treehouse will grace Bristol’s skyline from June until September 2017.

I don’t know if you can really call it a treehouse as it’s not built in a tree, but it certainly looks very nice (see more pictures here).

To register for the ballot to stay in the treehouse, visit www.canopyandstars.co.uk/crane29. A night’s stay costs either £185 for a weekday or £250 for a weekend, with the final ballot open until July 3. All profits from Canopy & Stars at Crane 29 will go to Friends of the Earth.
