Giraffe About Town: immerse fantasy-themed sculpture can be found at Fountain Park

Edinburgh Zoo’s Giraffe About Town project has seen a herd of eight-foot tall majestic giraffes join Edinburgh residents in the city streets for the last two weeks, bringing joy to all who visit them throughout the capital.

Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article.

The unique art trail, that runs until August 29, sees 42 giant giraffe sculptures decorate Edinburgh and its surrounding areas to raise much needed funds for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS).

For the next month we will introduce you these impressive creatures, their story and where you can spot them.

Head In The Clouds depicts a fantasy world where adorable animals can be seen going about their day.

Today we feature Head in the Clouds, which can be found outside Fountain Park.

This beautiful sculpture depicts a fantasy world of cosy tree houses, sky-ship adventures and space exploration, inhabited by a magical array of animal-folk and is inspired by family and friends of the artist, Lizzie Seymour.

Sponsored by Fountain Park, Head in the Clouds shows each adorable critter going about their day in this wonderful bright world – look out for the creatures hidden in the clouds!

Lizzie, who works at Edinburgh Zoo, said she her design was influenced by her love of colour and her affinity with nature. The artist added that her job provides her with a continuous source of delight and inspiration and she never tires of her view of the penguins from her office window.
