This giant Babe has been greeting people on The Alameda in San Jose since before I was born and I can remember him offering his muffler services in all his giantness since I was a child. He’s held up pretty well. This photo looks like a forced perspective visual illusion. I assure you, however, Babe is just huge and the man walking with a dog is perfectly normal and probably not named Gulliver.

This GIANT mural is gorgeous! These photos were from just a couple of days ago and it is in progress.
