Rachel Rawlings@Natasha_Jay Oh, that's where the cubic eggs come from!
Roman@Natasha_Jay
Well, it's at least in a pretty good shape!

ARTHUR: What happens now?
BEDEVERE: Well, now, uh, Lancelot, Galahad, and I, uh, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the Finns, uh, by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
Apprentice Bodega Cat 🐈⬛@Natasha_Jay the eggs are not filled with candy, only turnip
Sari Mikkonen 🇫🇮🌻🇪🇺@Natasha_Jay haha it seems to be placed at Pupuhuhta school yard - Pupupuhta means approx "Bunny meadow" and the sculpture is meant as something that kids can climb on. It's called "Bunny granny and her jolly bowed legs" (impossible to translate the pun)
Sarah Brown@karhutar @Natasha_Jay hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson? Looked right through me. Looked right through me.
@karhutar
Honestly, it looks like it will eat them and spit out the bones

@Natasha_Jay yes, it's hideous, never heard of it before
nowhereman (nicht der andere!)@karhutar @Natasha_Jay
But seeing it as scary is an adult view. As a child, I would have loved climbing on it. I remember wooden alternatives from my youth, when we were always afraid of wood splinters.
(Calling it a Monster would be a bonus, btw 😉)
Only the solid socket is stupid and should be sand for soft landings.

Astronot@karhutar @Natasha_Jay Do you know the artist's name? I'd love a giant scary bunny for my yard.
My neighbor has giant dinosaurs. It's tough to keep up with the Jones around here.
@astronot @Natasha_Jay the article says the artist is Helmer Selin, but note that the work was finished 1982.
@astronot @Natasha_Jay the owner of the statue seems to be the city of Jyväskylä, I think they wouldn't hesitate to sell it... it must be a public danger by now
@karhutar @Natasha_Jay i think shipping may be an issue.
Thank you for the information
@astronot @Natasha_Jay they are taking leaking toilets to the moon, so why not one concrete bunny to somewhere else
Toni Aittoniemi@Natasha_Jay Ah. Good old Finland. 💙🤍

@Natasha_Jay I lived few years next to Jyväskylä’s brutalistic bunny. Best part was that its interior was hollow and was playground to children. It is practically located at schoolyard. Some time after I moved away it was filled with concrete. :( Extra fun is that district where that is, is called Pupuhuhta (nearly literal translation is something like Bunny field. :)) I love that bunny and also I’m a brut fan.
Jarjantifa@Natasha_Jay
So cool! I want one! 😁

solastalgia kris ☀️🧘🚲@Natasha_Jay That's the Mecha Easter Bunny Boss controlled by the smoll Easter Bunnies. It throws Easter egg shaped grenades at you
Sassinake!I mean. A good coat of paint. or two. in different colours. would help.
Kristoffer Lawson@Natasha_Jay we literally just drove past that brutalist bunny! Staying at the in-laws for Easter and they live beside it :)
John Francis 🇨🇦🦫🍁💪⬆️@Natasha_Jay so many children broke their teeth trying to eat it. Thankfully they just grew new ones.
Marta@johnefrancis @Natasha_Jay They just grew new kids?

@Natasha_Jay it looks like a cool little house
E.T.Smith@Natasha_Jay The Committee for the State of The People will not be denied whatsoever it deems to claim provence over ... including the Easter Bunny. Eggs and baskets will be distributed with true industrial efficiency, so promises Lord Chairman's Five Year Plan. All will exult in an abundance of black jelly beans, the best jelly beans, as declared by Marx himself.
Agnieszka R. Turczyńska@Natasha_Jay Finland has a penchant for interesting sculptures. Some are like this bunny, some are like the little girl in Turku, some like blacksmiths in Helsinki.
The Turtle
kwayk42@Natasha_Jay that is where children get turned into baked goods for getting lost in the woods...
Becca@Natasha_Jay low poly bnuy 🥰
bouriquet@Natasha_Jay No, that’s on Easter Island!
