There's a yellow duck in the viaduct

Posted by
kiwisa (North Shore, New Zealand) on 8 February 2011 in Cityscape & Urban.

Happy ST:) A massive inflatable yellow duck floated into the Auckland Viaduct last week. Foreign Artist Florentijn Hofman installed ducks in Japan, Brazil, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany. The Auckland duck was here to celebrate the launch of a new TV channel.
