@lolakimono  It made me giggle! So cute.

Imagine kids would love to pass by this elephant daily. Beats having the tires in a landfill (for a while anyway).

Would rather see them  recycled into door mat or something elde.

A friend used old tires stacked up to grow potatoes in.  It was unsightly and the mice took over and made a home out of it.

I think old tires, no matter how cleverly arranged, are just ugly and unsightly.

They are doing a lot of things to reclaim old tires. They grind them up into pellets and make roofing shingles from them

Our new roof is made of rubber instead of asphalt. It is at least good for 50 years and  is heaps stronger than conventional roofing. Hail can't damage it. The hailstones just bounce off. It is fire resistant and able to withstand very strong winds

I think the elephant is really clever. Someone has used a lot of ingenuity to make it

So cute!

At first I thought it would be ugly looking old tires, but they perfectly suit an elephant!

@lolakimono  I think that is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I suppose it's clever, but I'm not a fan of this type of "art".  I'd hate to look out my window and see this.

@Citrine1  Well, at the rate rubber degrades...50 to 80 years, the elephant will be around quite awhile.
