Showing Original Post only (View all)Breaking! Gigantic Rubber Duckie enters Port of LA, asks to meet Ernie [View all]
http://gcaptain.com/giant-rubber-duck-floats-into-port-of-los-angeles-photos/
A giant rubber duck made its way into the Port of Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Ok, now for some context. The 60-foot tall inflatable duck is part of an art installation by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. Since 2007, the duck has called at ports and harbors across the globe including Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Auckland, Soa Paulo and Pittsburg, just to name a few.
The arrival of the duck in Los Angeles coincides with the Tall Ships Festival being held San Pedro, California from August 20-24.
