Rabbit
Monday, 22nd May 2006 by James Turnbull
1600m up the mountain Colletto Fava in Piemonte, Italy we find a quite unusal sight - a giant 60m tall pink rabbit. But before you go "Aww, that's cute" notice that his woolen guts are spilling out onto the mountainside.
Then giant wool bunny is the work of Gelitin, a group of artists from Vienna, who explain "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile.". The rabbit is expected to stay there until 2025 and hikers are invited to climb atop the "belly-summit" for a view over the village of Artesina below.

Damn you, Mr. Pumpernickel! I’ve been trying to post this one for months, but the satellite had not been updated and there was no resolution. I guess that recently changed… :\
Hmmm… hasn’t this been posted already? searches …guess not.
I wanted to post this! Boo.
Babaganoosh, I think that (seeing as I knew that this rabbit existed), there must have been a discussion about it here somewhere, but the imagery is new, so it couldn’t have been posted before.
Damn cool though.
P.S. That Gelitin site is not exactly SFW…
Well maybe a giant badger…
:\
Looks Gromit of “Wallace & Gromit” fame
UPDATE:
incredible: ground level shoots and story of the Place.
Yes but HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DISTORY THIS THING IN 2025 I MEAN ITS HUGE!
