What started as a college prank with pink flamingos in the 70’s continues on today, the plastic pink flamingo has become a part of Madison culture. It’s even been voted the city’s official bird by the Madison City Council. When I heard Bascom hill was going to be filled with pink flamingos as part of a fundraiser, I couldn’t resist getting some photos. Here’s a few new pinhole photos.
1400 pink flamingos filled Bascom Hill on the UW campus.
Near Bascom Hill is another iconic Madison image. The Memorial Union chairs.
