I've never been much of a collector of things and this has served me well recently after the introduction of a public art exhibition here in the North East. Based on the Snow-Dog of the 'Snowman and the Snow-Dog' film, there are 61 larger than life, models at various locations across Tyne and Wear. So, there was never a desire to see them all but the ones I did see were really fun. Each Snow-Dog is decorated differently to reflect the area they are located. They are shortly being rounded back up for a final display before being auctioned off for the St Oswald's Hospice Charity. If I had nothing but time, I'd have enjoyed searching more of them out (albeit via the handy map available on the website!) and capturing them in their natural habitat. However, as we are all aware, time is a precious commodity so I am thankful I was able to capture the ones shown here using the opportunities I had.
