It's a massive structure...about 30 feet tall.
Duke and Baron are the names of these horses.

Simply amazing architecture and one-of-a-kind sculpture!! People resemble Lilliput before it. :)


How we reached here....
We never thought we'd be able to get here because our TomTom (navigator) couldn't find the parking for the location...we were almost there but got lost and ended up at a sports complex instead. It was Sunday and no one was around; we were about to leave when a young person from that complex appeared. He let us park our car and directed us to walk 3-4 miles to the Kelpies.
'Oh wow...so it's amazing.'
This was our initial reaction to seeing those massive sculptures, and we had forgotten how tired we had been walking for more than an hour.:)
