Other efforts, like the waterfall under the Brooklyn Bridge
are less successful.
But I think my all time favorite were the cows.
It wasn’t exactly an original idea. The inspiration was a lion display in Zurich
in 1986.
But the idea really took off when they switched to cows in
1999 in Chicago.
NY was next in 2000.
Now over 50 countries have had their own cow parades.
It was lots of fun walking around the city looking for them
and taking photos.
Each cow was more creative than the last.
But of course my favorite was this little swimmer!
At the end of the summer, the cows were auctioned off for
charity.
They raised $1.3 million.
Not bad at all.
