Huge inflatable tubs of Ben and Jerry&#8217;s filled the whole field, stalls sold cow-print rugs and students wandered around in cow and macadamia nut costumes looking like enormous testicles (the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vitalsignsblogging.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5519451&amp;post=547&amp;subd=vitalsignsblogging&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Aside from the fact that they&#8217;re great for the environment &#8211; making the city healthier and its buildings more sustainable &#8211; I love the surrealness of them and the cool, severe mix of green and concrete.
