The Elephant in the square

We walked through Union Square today and I have to trumpet about this. A giant bronze statue of an elephant holding itself up by the tip of its trunk.

Called the Gran Elefandret by Spanish artist Miguel Barcelo, the statue is apparently a traveling one. I have always loved elephants. And ever since I titled a book with the breath of an elephant, I tend to see elephant's everywhere, acknowledging the elephant in the room, so to speak.
