Small public sculpture of a hippopotamus in the Vernand neighbourhood of Lausanne — a whimsical urban subject that works well for close-ups, environmental portraits and playful street scenes. Easy to reach by foot or local bus from central Lausanne; no entry fee. Best light: golden hour and overcast days for even textures. Weekday mornings are quiet. Compact parking nearby; check local traffic restrictions.
