The island of Krk. In front of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. In front of garbage containers. But even that is picturesque. And what time to have a photo of Croatia who later today will play France for the football (soccer) world championship in their first world cup final ever [edit: they didn’t win, but they were in the final!]

An equally incongruous place for a garbage container, in the old southern cemetery in Munich.

Not an odd location but an odd inscription: the town’s finest.

Just to round off this rubbish collection, here is Oscar the Grouch who lives in a garbage can on Sesame Street.

A fairly large – as dwarves go – dwarf sitting in the woods and … yes, he is doing exactly what you think he is doing. Just look at his contented smile!

This is for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge and was inspired by this photo:

This fun fountain in Neustadt an der Weinstraße in Germany sports a large variety of Elwetritsche – mythical creatures, supposedly bred from ducks, geese, chicken and woodland imps and gnomes. The artist responsible is Gernot Rumpf. More about Elwetritsche can be found on wikipedia. I’ve posted pictures of their young ones before.
