You might have heard about the Giants descending on Liverpool this weekend...

Quote:

Sea Odyssey is a magical tale of love, loss and reunion played out on a gigantic scale. It will take place in key city spaces, moving across North Liverpool and the city centre, wowing the hundreds of thousands of people who are expected to descend on the city over the three days.

This follows on from La Machine in 2008 with the Giant Spider "La Princesse", and lots of other 'street' events. (photos courtesy of Pete)

Sure Pete et al will be along with some photos shortly!

Nipped out to see the Uncle Giant at lunch. They are HUGE! He's 50ft :O

I was watching out for this and hoping you would get some shots. It really is spectacular, they are something else

Pete's are much better, Matt got some video, think he's put one on Facebook.

Although if you look at that link you should see BARRIERMAN

I thought it was 2006.

They actually bid to do it here first but La Machine won the bid with the giant spider, so this was booked to coincide with the Titanic anniversary. It's incredible to see, especially the little dog, Xolo.

The Uncle is 20ft bigger than she is & apparently this is the first time they've been able to walk around a City itself rather than just in the Centre... the council have removed all kinds of bits of road - roundabouts, filter lanes so they can get around.

So many people out there yesterday, such an atmosphere. If you're anywhere near, get down there EVERYONE is smiling! :-)

No idea but that's when I saw them

I just knew I had seen it before and that's why I posted.

Ah well clearly Facebook is b0rked then as I uploaded it at the time and it says 2007 on my FB - at least it got the month right!

Eitherway not bothered, I just knew I had seen it before, that was all I wanted to say.
