Big, Big Jeff Goldblum

Seen from the field and from Tower Bridge

After a long, long absence I decided I needed to get back in the swing of myLot. Just needed something a bit on the quirky side to get me started. Apparently Wednesday was the 25th anniversary of Jurassic park, so to celebrate you obviously plonk a 25 foot, 330 lb, statue of Jeff Goldblum in Potters Field, between Tower Bridge and City Hall. As none of the film takes place in London, it makes perfect sense to me. Still, it proved popular with the visitors. The statue was removed on Thursday evening, so I guess Jeff was off to fight more T. Rexs.

Welcome back to myLot, I missed you. This is a very big statue, not easy to carry it around.

Would have been nice if there was a little bit of interaction, he was very quiet!

Seems a reasonable enough thing to do. I am a bit confused as to why Jeff is halfway shirtless .though.

After his first encounter with the T. Rex, his character was injured and as it is hot in Peurto Rico he settled on that pose!

@Ronrybs Ah I see. Well I watched the original Jurassic Park but haven't kept up with the series of the movies.

Who cares that none of it took place in London. It's like the Twelve Apostles on our Great Ocean Road. There never has been 12 but that's what they've been called.

@Ronrybs I did a post on it a while back. I'm surprised you didn't see it. Here's the link if you want to read it:
We’ve spent two days on the Great Ocean Road which winds along the coast east of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. This area is also known as Shipwreck Coast....

I only found out about him on Thursday morning, so I got there just in time to see him. Not very chatty though!

His head turned up on a TV show the other week, where it met the real thing

I know it is a scene from Jurassic Park, but not the one I'd have chosen to celebrate!

He was on a talk show a few weeks back and they bought out the giant head for him!
