Using 100,000s of iconic coloured plastic blocks, artists have temporarily expanded the marine wonders of the Sydney Aquarium with life size Lego models of various familiar creatures. My favourite is a full-size breaching whale with a superb backdrop of a tiny rowboat (and its mother sailing ship) being troubled by the wild seas. The picture stands seven to eight metres in height with remarkable detail of the brewing maelstrom and the dark unyielding ocean. And to think it is all done one tiny brick at a time...

I think the shark is so cool. The kids would love it. Lego is really cool. It's very nice.
@posterprints: Lego does seem to attract people older and younger.
What fun. Like you, I liked the background image even better than the whale.
Just about anything is made better in Lego form, love the photos :)
@barbara: The Lego "painting" is exceptional. I wonder if they do these quite regularly as they are seriously impressive.
@anil: Thank you. Lego seems to be good for kids and for grown-ups...
