From the stunning Isle of Harris to the roaring Harley Davidson Fat Boy in the USA, 'huge' takes on many forms. In Stamford/Lincs during the 1950s, nostalgia fills the air as classic bikes like Honda Goldwing from Japan grace our streets. The Tabby Toboggan Club by Louis Wain brings a whimsical touch to this collection of massive wonders. Transporting us back to the 1880s, Dumbarton Castle stands tall and proud, reminding us of Scotland's rich history. Meanwhile, a map of Europe from 1871 showcases Germany's vast expanse and influence. Gypsies and their caravans roam freely in the 1930s, embodying a sense of freedom that only comes with boundless horizons. In bustling Piccadilly Circus during 1956, crowds gather under dazzling lights for an unforgettable spectacle. On Santa Cruz Highlands in Galapagos Islands, witness a Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoise indulging in its favorite meal - grass - showcasing nature's incredible scale. The grand opening of Whiteleys department store in 1911 marks an era where shopping reaches new heights. Lastly, standing serenely on Lantau Island is The Big Buddha statue at Po Lin Monastery – an awe-inspiring symbol representing spirituality and tranquility amidst Hong Kong's vibrant energy. Whether it be natural wonders or human-made marvels across continents and centuries – 'huge' captivates our imagination.
