in animalphotography •  7 years ago 

This elephant is part of a large collection of "Machines" made almost entirely of royal materials (leather, wood, metal). The only plastic used in these giants are in the hydraulic system.

These things are wicked...! And they also made a carousel a little bit on the Jules Verne side of things, it is beautiful! Last time we were there they were working on building this giant tree where the branches are pathways and you could ride things like a giant caterpillar to move about the tree!

I will post more soon

That's crazy looking. Is it just a tourist attraction?

It has become an attraction. Some of hese guys use to do street theater and things of that nature with giant puppets...
