Another one for the 2012 Sculpture Trail ride: a pair of towering scrap metal giraffes that turned up outside the new Omni Centre in Picardy Place back in 2005, and have been stopping traffic ever since.
Helen Denerley built the pair entirely from scrap metal, proof that one person’s junk pile is another person’s 22-foot masterpiece. The taller of the two is nearly tall enough to borrow a coffee from a second-floor office window, and somehow the whole thing looks more at home on the Edinburgh skyline than half the buildings around it.
Good excuse for a wander round Picardy Place if you’re doing the trail, and an easy one to tick off between stops.
