The Whales

From July-October from Westerly, RI to Old Lyme, CT there are 47 whales on display... there are also 3 others: one each in New York, Boston, and Newport... For a total of 50 whales all of which are photographed below!! I have the Whale's artist info as well as the charity each is going to be auctioned for in the details for each photo.

"The Whale Trail" http://www.thewhaletrail.com is a public art event in the nature of the famous "Cow Parade". At the end of the viewing period all of the whales will be auctioned off for charity.... There are 2 molds of whales. One is a Sperm Whale (the Connecticut State Animal) and the other is a Beluga Whale... All are about 5 feet tall/long...

San Luis Obispo, CA is doing something similar with Trout! Check out Ellsworth Weaver's Trout of San Luis Obispo, CA gallery!

Congrats on completing your project it is a beautiful record of a beautiful art project. I hope someone notes your gallery to help support this project too!!
Guest 01-Sep-2005 02:02
I love these kinds of public art projects. I've been hooked since the area around the Lehigh Valley in PA did it with mules a couple years back. Your gallery is great fun and I especially like the additional information that accompanies each photo. Thanks.

San Jose did Sharks in 2001. Check out my incomplete collection at:http://www.pbase.com/chrisphotos/sharks
Did you go to each city to take these photos? I had only downtown and just a few days. The sharks all left by the next month, October, 2001.

Much fun CJ. I guess it is no fluke you are interested in whales. Or did you just come up with this idea on the sperm of the moment? LOL
Guest 16-Jul-2005 23:44
This is a great project CJ, your collection is a great idea. I'll wait to decide which one is my favorite when your done : )
