Anyone walking around the city in the last few days can not help but notice all the colourful sculptures that have suddenly appeared here, there and everywhere. They are 100 mini versions (about a 4-5ft high) of the original, yellow 'superlambana' which is on the corner of Tithebarn Street.
These sculptures are painted in all kinds of different colours and patterns and have really brightened up the city and have created a new interest and talking point for residents and tourists alike. All of this creates a positive 'buzz' which adds to the feelgood for our communities.
I understand that there is one plan that they will be sold off for charity at the end of the year.
The charity idea is great, but wouldn't it be nice if they were to stay for a long time after 2008?
(I also heard that there was some rumour that the destiny of the original is again in question and that it could be lost to the city. I wonder if this really matters, if we keep the 100 mini ones? But it does remind us that the icon that we should really be working with is our own Liver Birds!)
