I don’t know about you but I’ve really grown fond our our little dinosaur. Through the summer months he (I’m assuming gender, but I’m no dinosaur expert) has become a landmark on Southsea Common and normally surrounded by people drawn to him and his wistful gaze out over the Solent…something we all probably do from time to time. Now with winter approaching our dinosaur will be moving home soon and I’ll be sad to see that empty space on the common. What’s your thoughts on his visit to Southsea? Good? Bad?
I took these photos on a rainy day, so grey that despite them being on a roll of colour film they look black & white. You can see more on Forever Circling.

Certainly gonna miss the big fella. Maybe we should throw him a party. Dress him up a little.

A great addition to the seafront, perhaps it could pave the way for more temporary art installation?
It’s not like we don’t have the room…..

When I first heard about about the Dinosaur visiting Southsea Common I wasn’t keen on the idea at all. Now seeing him everyday on my journey to and from work, he makes me smile. I think he’s brilliant and I am really going to miss him. I hope PCC do buy him and he becomes a permanent fixture to keep us all smiling for years to come.

Can’t believe he’s gone and in such an awful way – so sad.
