Downtown hippo

I’m not sure if I’ll post all the animals decorating the Capitol Crossing construction site in DC, but maybe, since I liked them so much and was impressed that a developer would go to the expense of installing them. In any case, here’s the hippo.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Coexistence, posted earlier:

An altogether new meaning to the phrase "urban jungle".Perhaps they're making a statement about the other kind.

It's so hard to get them down when they climb like that :-)

Love this way of brighten up a construction site. We often have wooden fences with streetart surroundinf the sites.
