The Various and Sundry Travels of Carl the Bear

Carl is a stuffed bear made from remnant bin fur fabric and a whole lotta love--but don't let his humble origins fool you: He's a little bear with big dreams.

Sir Edmund Hillary had Tenzing, Lewis had Clark--and Carl has a photographer with just as much wanderlust as he has.

The museum was spectacular—however, no photos allowed indoors at all. Harumph.Good thing this magnificent sculpture was outside and thereby photographable. Hopefully some of you recognize this as one of the robot drones from “Laputa: Castle in the Sky”, one of my absolute favorite Ghibli films. Reminder: Carl is about 16in tall! We’re talking about a pretty big robot here. {Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, Japan}
