On the Sunday of the La Machine weekend, I came to the grounds of the Supreme Court, where the two giant machines were in rest mode before afternoon departures. Work teams were paying attention to the dragon horse while I was here. Both were fenced off in such a way that one could get plenty of angles at them for photography, and they formed quite a contrast to the architecture of the Court and the Parliamentary blocks. People were taking an opportunity to get a close look at both.
These are such amazing machines. So big and so well articulated.

ReplyDeleteYou get a good idea of the size of these creatures when you see humans beside them. There must be a lot of hydraulics on these creatures.
