Outside the local zoo is this big robot, which possibly used to be a thing kids could climb in.
It's not a great zoo by any stretch of the limousine, but it has a ferris wheel and a small amusement park, a shallow swimming pool, and a replica donjon of a Japanese castle.
I put the hoopy stars in to make the photo more interesting.
And it snowed today. Even the weather bureau was surprised.

I can hear a calliope playing in the background. :)

Haha.

What a great robot. So weathered, catching him in the snow is perfect. I wonder if the eyes light up (or if they used to when it was new). That thing must be huge -- I'm guessing 20 feet tall.

The stars are a great addition. The amazing juggling robot.

With the addition of the stars, it reminds me of something from Dora the Explorer (can you tell I have a toddler?). Very cool robot.
