Weekly Photo Challenge: One Shot, Two Ways

Southbank 2012: Festival of Neighbourhood

These giant toy letters were a feature at the Southbank last year.  Of all the installations I’ve seen placed here over the years I have to say this has been my favorite thus far.

They were moved around from time to time over the summer and on this occasion you can make out Embrace, on the other side was Change.  Simple message in that when up close everything looks random but when you step back and observe it all comes together.

I first posted about them here.

Find the inspiration here and join in the weekly challenge yourself.

          Nice, they are not in this exact area but scattered around. You’ll have no problem seeing them though as they are massive.

          1. Good, no need to glasses then.

    I really loved that installation too and used to walk through it as often as possible. I must visit the Southbank again soon – the Starflyer is back!
