Grand opening of a new zoo
« on: November 01, 2013, 09:38:02 »
Today HRH the king of the Netherlands and his wife opened a new zoo. It is just a small zoo. But they had a very nice party.

This zoo has big plans for the future. They hope to raise funds so they can give their animals bigger grounds to play and maybe even present some new animals.

We hope you enjoy the pictures!

What a great set up, love all the animals!  The ribbon cutting was a clever touch and the penguins are so cute.

Very nice! I love the ribbon cutting. And it's a great zoo, very well arranged. The pelican with the crab in its mouth is cute. Are there people in a boat in the dolphin tank? :lol:

Thank you!

After setting this up and trying to make nice pictures of it I even got more respect to the ones here who make those big and perfect diorama's and manage to take great pictures of it also. It's not an easy job!

Bonniebeth when I was young I often visited a zoo where they had a dolphin and sealion show. Every time they choose a child to make a ride in a little boat that was pulled by a dolphin. I never did it myself (too shy) but I liked the idea very much.

The king Willem-Alexander and queen Maxima are from a special set (5054) introduced by the installation of our new king and queen last April. He really came with a (police)hat but my son thinks a king should wear his golden crown every day!

That does sound like a really awesome experience!

Great looking zoo! There is never enough space for displays, and if you do get more space it fills up fast and then you are back to not having enough room.
Photography is a whole other subject. You can do wonderful scenes in a small space, you just have to change things a lot to make for bigger concepts and stories.

Beautiful set up! Love the details (a camera running for a royal opening). My mother bought me the royal couple two weeks ago and they're now the king and queen of my daughters wooden doll house.. and the king has a crown as well! ;)

What a beautiful zoo  :inlove: 
Your son is so right about the crown!

I love how the gorilla, giraffes and zebras are watching the ceremony  ;D

Which animals are in the bottem left corner enclosure? I can't see.

On the left side live the beavers and skunks. I actually don't know if they can peacefully live together. Now that I think about it I don't remember I've ever seen skunks in a zoo. There might be a reason for that.

But these adorable plastic ones are amongst my favorite Playmobil animals.
