A Walk to an Unusual Sight

When we meet up with our group on Sundays, we follow a pre-laid trail. Once in a while we encounter a sign spelling SV. SV stands for “scenic view”. This normally signifies a look over a sweeping landscape. Occasionally it might also be an idyllic scene, a pond or a clearing or possibly a monument.

This Sunday it was neither sweeping nor idyllic, it was just odd.

There were wooden figures but embellished with odd toys and artificial flowers and strange artifacts. The wooden figures were stern and bleak, the additions however, were kind of menacing: a doll left in the weather looks scary after even a few days.

It was a really weird place.

Wood kobolds, acorns and a penguin

I should have put a scale next to these acorns – they were carved out of wood and as big as a foot stool.
