The Nelson Dragon

[Naharaht]

The City of Norwich in the United Kingdom has been invaded by dragons this Summer. However, before anyone decides to lead a flotilla up the river Yare to come to our rescue, I had better explain that it is an interactive arts sculpture trail called 'GoGo Dragons!' as an attraction for tourists, an activity for children and to raise money for a children's charity called Break.

There are 84 large and 120 small sculptures made from fibreglass, I think. Each has been painted by a different artist or artists according to a theme they have chosen. The one I have shown has 'Nelson' as its theme. It is called 'GoGo Horatio'. Maps are available showing where each dragon is located. Each has a letter on its base to crack a coded message. There are sticker books available and other things. After the trail finishes in September the dragons will be auctioned for charity. This is the third such venture. The two previous ones had elephants and gorillas.
