Florentijn Hofman's Big Bunny Art In Orebro, Sweden (PHOTOS)

From Inhabitat:

If this is someone's plush toy, we're a bit worried about its owner coming back to get him after dropping him in this Swedish town square! As part of this summer's openART biennale in Orebro, Sweden, Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman built this giant, 13-meter-high yellow bunny using local materials and craftsmen. Located near St. Nicolai church in the city center, Stor Gul Kanin (Big Yellow Bunny) questions the purpose of the public space and changes the perspective of the monuments within.

I really like it; it's playful and fun. 

And it's nice to see that some countries avoided the economic and sociological depression intentionally caused by Wall Street and its well-compensated Congress.
