Yet again, writing Alt Text has made me look closer at the things I see. We’ve been falling over elephants all over the city for weeks with a vague notion that it had something to do with some art trail. I only looked it up when I needed to write an image description.
Now I know it’s a 'Find Elefanten' trail with 30 sculptures representing "the elephant in the room’, mental health.”
They'll be auctioned to raise funds for the Psychiatric Foundation. Good to know. Thanks, #AltText.
@CiaraNi what a lovely idea.
@pms Agreed. It is indeed.
There's a QR code and the name of a trail's app on each pedestal, but I was never bothered fiddling about on my phone when I passed one and had no interest in yet another app ("Make Analogue Information Plaques Great Again!", say I). So until now, I didn't know what they were about. It's a great initiative about an under-promoted need.
