A Giant

In the middle of Reiman Gardens on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, stands the world's tallest concrete gnome.  Although this larger-than-life creation named Eldo is great to see perched in such beautiful surroundings, it seems contrary to all things gnome...but who cares as season after season its whimsical nature delights visitors of all ages.  This summer would be a great opportunity to have your picture taken with the giant.
