I was running in Central Park yesterday and came across a large circle of red snails. After checking my lenses were in and that I wasn’t hallucinating, I could see that they were about 6 feet tall and about the same in width. What on earth are they doing there?

So J and I went and had a closer look earlier today. It’s another bonkers art installation in New York. This time it’s a red snail invasion from Florida. You’d think in the winter they’d want to stay in warmer climes, but no, they hanging out in Central Park, around 72nd Street on the east side, if you fancy a visit.  They are here courtesy of the Villa Firenze Foundation and here until 5th December when they decamp to Columbus Circle for Christmas.
