These are a few photos of the giant inflatable rubber Yellow Duck that floats recently near Ocean Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui.
This 16.5 metre sculpture has arrived at Hong Kong for some time and will stay until June 9. Before this, it has travelled to famous cities of the world, such as Osaka, Sydney, Sao Paolo and Amsterdam. The man who creates this over-sized bath toy is the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. "I see it as an adult thing. It makes you feel young again. It refers to your childhood when there was no stress or economic pressure, no worry about having to pay the rent," said Hofman.
The Next stop for Rubber Duck is the United States. The exact destination is a closely guarded secret. I guess it to be San Francisco.

Nice to see the giant duck in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour by night, good photos! Our fourth grandchild is nake named "Ducky" because of the character εΎ· in his name.
