PhotoHunt: Small

SMALL




NOT Small





I don't know if this happens all over the world, but it certainly does here in Australia. We take something that is a feature of a town, supersize it in a fascinatingly ugly way, and then we call it a tourist attraction. Tamworth claims the title of Country Music Capital, hosting an annual festival with a world's longest line dance record attempt. In general, a good place to stay away from.

Image the small lady bug on that large guitar! Wow.

I love the picture of the small lady bug on the leaf. Yes, the super sizing it and calling it an attraction is a very strange phenomenon.

Tiny bug and huge guitar. Fun for the theme. We have an ugly Rock Museum in Seattle that looks like different ugly shaped blobs. Happy hunting...

Love the ladybug.

Cool shots... even the guitar.
Art, or not... bet it's a conversation piece!

I've never seen anything quite that big. Although the Hard Rock Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas has a pretty big guitar outside if I remember right.

My Photo Hunt is up too! :)

*nina wonders if the town is compensating for something...*

I really love the last photo of the guitar hon. And the ladybug makes me long for spring... back when I had my rose gardens I would buy containers of ladybugs and release them in my garden. I miss that. They were so beautiful!

hey I did one this week too!

Brrr … A truly scary place for a musician, Vic.

Are we sharing ladybirds???

Janna said...

LOL!
Now that is one huge guitar.
I agree that it's probably a good idea to stay away from huge groups of people attempting to line-dance. :)

I'm scared. And I'm from America.

I'm with Sassy...it's not often people can out-tacky Americans. It's both scary and impressive.
