Some installations that couldn't even be seen are now painfully obvious (like a couple of antennas behind a fence in the middle of a field)....

In Summary: Giant seal = interesting. Blurry building = not interesting.

Are you sure this isnt the Netherlands equivalent of Edinburgh's trampoline craze? Perhaps one person got one and then everyone got 'seal envy' and needed to have one. I'm sure you can bounce up on down on these giant blow up seals, which is great because in my experience real baby seals arent very bouncy when you jump up and down on them!* * that is joke btw before you seal huggers get on my case! I love baby seals (especially with some steamed vegetables and a fine Chianti*) *another joke - i'm a vegetarian really!

The guy who made it might have tested it in his garden before when the satellite flew over. Then the satellite or plane or whatever did another shot from the place where it's now. btw Your links are both leading to the garden-version although I could swear they worked correctly a minute ago... strange. Btw I don't think shooting seals is always a bad thing. If there are too many of them - why not? If the cockroach gets in danger of extinction I'd really like to see Paul McCartney and his wife lying next to some roaches with a smile on their faces. *gg* (This of course doesn't mean you can kill seals inhumanly!)
