What's the first thought that comes to your mind when you see this picture? ''Wow, that's some EPIC photoshop.'' well, you're wrong. this picture is not at all photoshoped, what you see here is the world's largest rubber duck resting at the Sydney Harbor in Australia.
This world's largest rubber duck is made by a dutch artist; Florentijn Hofman in 2007, measuring at 16.5 × 20 × 32 metres and weighing over 600 kg. Since 2007, this adorable rubber duck has been to many different countries such as Hong Kong, Netherland, Taiwan, Australia, Belgum etc. The duck is not actually made of rubber, it is made with 200 large pieces of PVC piping, and can be inflated and deflated when travelling around the world.
The creator of this rubber duck had been travelling around the world with his art work since 2007, he named this project ''Spreading joy around the world''. After it's tour in Asian, Hofman and the duck will go on display in United States.
This rubber duck is no doubt the most fascinating this I have ever seen. First of all, it is bigger the boats and it is taller than most buildings. How amazing is that? Also, rubber duck is something we can all related to our childhood. Seeing it sitting in a harbor and 500% times bigger then the ones we had when we where children, has to be the most astonishing thing ever to witness in your life.
If by any chance, this rubber duck happens to come by a bay, a port or a harbor near where you live, it is something definitely worth checking out. It is literally once in a life time opportunity to witness such amazing art work and I guarantee doesn't matter how big you imagine it to be, it will be 10 times bigger when you see it in person.
