The Sultan's Elephant, London 2006

One warm Friday afternoon I received a rather delighted call from my beloved, who works as an artist in Soho, to say that he had just seen a giant elephant walk passed on his way to lunch. At first I thought he was joking and asked for some more explanation. He then informed me that a theatre group called Royal de Luxe were performing a version of 'The Sultan's Elephant' by Jules Verne, which would be hosted over the next three days. I hopped on the nearest train and headed for Trafalgar Square, where the large mechanical elephant was making its way majestically towards St James Park. The next few posts are from the few moments I managed to capture before all I could do was stare in complete fascination and mouth the words 'wow'. For a few days London was transformed into something quite magical...the magic of fairytales and fantasy.
