Wiser than they know

[pecunium]

Yesterday I took the car to get the oil changed. Our mechanic is close to the house, so I dropped it off and walked home. As is my wont I had the camera bag with me. On the way down I saw a splendidly decorated yard (Hallowe'en is coming).

It was simple, a huge ghostly figure; with a ghastly skull, was rising from the plants in the yard. It's at least 20 feet tall.

On the way back I got a better look. Oh... The Irony.




(click through, it's a really large image).

Feel free to share it.

Delightful juxtaposition!

(Shame that such a lovely house (oh, that ivy!) has such a sign in front.)

Nice. Would be amusing if giant glasses were to suddenly appear on the figure. :-)

This photo moved my mother to actual tears of laughter, which is a very rare thing. Thank you!

Wonder why they'd want to spoil it with that scary sign.

Actually, my thoughts were along the line of Is that purposely part of the scary setup?

I sent the photostream link to Steve Harvey of "Only in LA" - he's doing a blog now that the Times cancelled his column. He emailed back that he thought it was funny.
