Zebra Go

Print Primary Zebra contrasts with Southampton’s freshly cleaned Bargate

While the world plays Pokemon-Go – the people in Southampton are walking around and searching for painted zebras. A few years ago it was rhinos in collaboration with Marwell Zoo. It was such a success that we now have these zebras with sponsored themes.

Judge Zebra Below Bar – with reference to when Southampton’s Bargate was once a court.

So here are some photos of a few of my favourites – I must confess I did not take the details of all of them – one of the best bloggers for these is on the WP site “I Walk Alone” so seek her out for some lovely walks.

Abbey Road Zebra by Watts Park entrance

Vandals have stolen some of them; one also with a Beatles theme, named Ticket to Ride featuring buses, was found floating along the River Itchen and rescued by a youth sailing team.

A beautiful Ocean Zebra in St Michael’s Square

Jigsaw Zebra. You never know who will be dropping by while you are at a Mettricks having coffee in Southampton.

Sharknado Zebra outside the old town walls at Western Esplanade

This one in Southampton’s 02 Square draws the crowds

Which looks like a crowd at St Mary’s Football Stadium with “Saints” red and white socks.
