The Kelpies are 30-metre high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.
2. @thebibliosphere scotland has the best public sculpture ideas by which I mean, at what time do the giant flesh-eating horses emerge from the ground to bring death and misery to Scotland and will they sell tickets?
looks like Denver’s been soundly unseated in the “ominous fucking equine statue” department.
Have they killed their creator yet? Because that adds extra ominous points to the Denver Murder Horse that can’t be beat just by being giant and looming.
Seriously, until these have actually eaten someone, Bluecifer is still ahead.
What’s also good is Completely Forgetting to tell visiting relatives about bluecifer, picking them up from the airport and hearing them SHRIEK and going “oh yeah, that”
For the Non-Coloradoans:
Bluecifer, Our local elder god. Absolutely nothing in that pic is photoshop.
He’s 32 feet tall, and most unfortunately, his head fell off while he was being assembled and killed his creator. Bluecifer gets struck by lightning on a semi-regular basis which should melt fiberglass but his Dark And Unholy powers have prevented any damage. He’s got glowing red eyes:
(Once again, none of that is photoshop.) And disturbingly detailed human-sized genitals, which I’ll let y’all google for yourselves.
He sits in a not-legally acessible bit of roadway just outside DIA, the most Conspiracy-Riddled of airports, and people run across the highway to get to him to bring him offerings and praise.
just moving along like everyone else
