Audi Centenary Sculpture by Gerry Judah

To commemorate Audi’s 100 years of service in the auto industry, Gerry Judah designed a centenary sculpture which was erected at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Sussex, England.

The statue is 44-tonnes, 32 meters high and it features a vintage and a modern Audi going opposite ways on the twisted track into the sky.

Check out the gallery because this centenary old sculpture is a marvel to look at. Congratulations, Audi, on your 100th year celebrations.

Giant Marionettes in France

The latest performance by the French mechanical marionette street theater company Royale De Luxe - with some remarkable pictures of their latest creation.

Nantes, the home town of Jules Verne, is situated in western France. Here, near the river Loire a giant deep-sea diver sleeps gently, waiting for his task to begin. Sadness marks his face even as he sleeps. He has been searching the world over for his missing niece and although he may not know it, the end of his search is coming. The diver or scaphandrier as he is known in French will be paraded through the streets of this historic city at the beginning of the Estuary 2009 arts festival. The biannual festival gives the French mechanical marionette street theater company Royale de Luxe the opportunity to unveil their latest creation.
