Dinosaur at the roundabout

We haven’t had a roundabout photo for a while so here is one I snapped back in June. It was somewhere near Fontenay-en-Comte and there was a ‘dinosaur park’ nearby so it was a great advertisement for the attraction. I don’t know if the different greens were all growing but I guess not. I can imagine little kids ogling the dinosaur as they went past. I was doing a bit of ogling myself.

Because I sit on the side nearest the roundabout, it is quite easy to get photos of the middles.

That is pretty cool! I know there is a way to attach greenery to wire and moss. Some greenery actually will live on such matter if it is fed and watered properly.

@JudyEv I have seen some artificial trees that I had to touch to know they were not real.

It didn't look artificial but some artificial plants nowadays can look very real.

@JudyEv Neither appeals to me. But we have to appreciate the creativity

Dinosaurs are the 'in' thing at the moment, aren't they? They don't really appeal to me.

I dont know how they made that, but I really like this tyrannosaurus. It is well integrated on the roundabout, making it looking good

@JudyEv It is a masterpiece of ugliness. You went not far from it, it is in the Montpellier area if I remember.

One day I'll do a YouTube slideshow of the best of the ones we've seen. I haven't seen too many ugly ones such as the ones you put up once.

It looks like real plants to me but then I'm easily fooled by silk plants so who knows. Kool dino though.

Yep, I've seen some that are very pretty @JudyEv but none of them will clean the air and provide oxygen.

Once artificial plants were pretty awful but they do some great ones nowadays.

That is a great photo. Reminds me of the first time I went back to the US with my daughter and took her to Disneyland. All the shrubs there are cut so cute.

They do wonderful things with their bonsai and hedge-cutting don't they?

The succulent plants grow easily on wire frames, I have seen horses, fishes and other figures created with the same technique, "Succulent Topiary".
