Stand tall! (1)
Giraffes are roaming through Christchurch and beyond - this particular one was spotted in Kaiapoi.
"Christchurch Stand Tall" is a mass-appeal public art project organised by UK organisation, Wild in Art.
More than fifty 2.5m fibreglass giraffes have been painted and decorated by local artists and planted in parks, streets and open spaces. Christchurch schools have decorated another 50 baby giraffes.
Wild in Art has produced several other public displays. Liverpool (UK) had penguins, Sydney had rhinos and Bristol hosted Gromits - from Wallace and Gromit.
The giraffes will be on display over summer and then auctioned off, with proceeds going to charities.
