Ocean Breeze Gorilla
Friday, 23rd September 2005 by Alex Turnbull
At the entrance to the Ocean Breeze water park in Virginia Beach, VA, stands a 30 foot gorilla wearing beach clothes and sunglasses. You can clearly see his shadow in this image, but you can also see a ground-level shot that shows off his fabulous attire if that isn't good enough 🙂
Thanks to William Eckley.

Alex, that should actually be Virginia Beach, VA. Virginia Beach is a good four hours from Washington, DC. 🙂
Oops, thanks Phil! I read the wrong state-name…
Very useful map you linked to there btw 😉 Post updated 🙂

Best viewed in Google Earth.
When are the Google Earth links going to start working again?
This gorilla figured in today’s Zippy the Pinhead comic (9/26/05). Interesting coincidence!
