Olympic Mascot Statues Final

Sep19

The mascots have left London and unfortunately I wasn’t able to find more. Due to lack of funds and running out of time I wasn’t able to find as many as I wanted. It happens. One’s priorities change and a focus on the important direction of one’s life is hard to distinguish. Here’s the final photos of the Olympic statues I was able to find!

Wenlock

Underwater Wenlock

Embankment Wenlock (please excuse the bride to be – she wouldn’t move)

Skyline Wenlock

Maritime Wenlock

Mandeville

Red Bus Wenlock

Gemstone Wenlock

Novel Wenlock

Filmstar Wenlock

And that’s all she saw folks!

Total count is 34/84! I’ll do better next time.

Olympic Statues Part 2

Sep5

Over the weekend I was lucky to go adventuring with my friend S at Regent’s Park for more Olympic statues! There were eleven overall on the ‘Green’ route, and Regent’s Park is HUGE. I haven’t had the chance to explore the park and it didn’t rain so it made for a fantastic day. The total count now is 32/84! I’ve got until the 9th of September (yikes!) to find the rest! I wish they could be around for longer, they’ve been enjoyable along the streets of London.

1) Sherlock Wenlock

2) Deckchair Wenlock

3) Rose Garden Mandeville

4) Midsummer Night’s Dream Wenlock

5) Birdy Wenlock

6) Safari Mandeville

7) Victorian Wenlock

8) Animal Wenlock

9) Regency Mandeville

10) Rainbow Mandeville

11) Union Flag Wenlock

It’s hard to be picture perfect when there are others waiting to take pictures with the statue. In the end it was a wonderful day with my friend and totally worth walking around for four hours. I hope I can find the rest!
