The giant inflatable yellow duck on the rooftop of the Tel Aviv's city hall


A giant yellow duck was inflated yesterday on the rooftop of the Tel Aviv's city hall. The event was the realization of a vision dreamed up a few years ago by the late Israeli artist and illustrator Dudu Geva.

Geva, famous for his duck drawings, came up with the idea of the "duckization of Tel Aviv" - decorating the city with huge sculptures of ducks and other animals in an attempt to spice up the streets of Tel Aviv, and make them happier.
 
Geva, born in 1950, published popular caricatures, comic strips, and satire columns in Israeli newspapers for three decades. He unexpectedly died in 2005.
