Artificial life?

Last summer we were in Friesland and there I saw this remarkable farmhouse surrounded by real size plastic animals including plastic poop to make it more realistic. This is only possible in Friesland!!!!!!!! (lol) I think this is a nice one for "Camera Critters" not exactly by the rules but I'll give it a try. For more "Camera Critters" click the icon.

Mom Knows Everything said...

Is that ever neat! That was at some one's house? Pretty cool!

Andrea said...

Well, I thought it posted but it did not post. Sorry about that.
I said.....is this on a "wanna be" farmers land? We have the real ones here. Guess the plastic ones are not as much responsiblity as the real ones and for sure the plastic poop would not have the odor the real ones do. LOL

Dick, these plastic stuff makes me always laugh. We have one house here in the neighbourhood with a palm tree lit up in the middle of snowy winter, lol. Oh and there this one butcher that drives this plastic cow around to advertise. Thanks for sharing, and btw thanks for visit to my blog, and our kind words. Anna :)

Sunkyoung said...

I have a friend whose surname, 'Dijkstra' came from Friesland. Now I've learned one thing to make fun with the province. :)

WillemK said...

We both know some people from Friesland. Why of why does this picture not surprise me then? There is something with these people that constantly puts you offguard. Allthough the "Friesen" are known as hard working people I think that this farmer doesn't want to come out of bed too early for milking. Lazy or clever?
And of course a perfect picture again.

Bis morgen.
Willem

Rune Eide said...

Immediately when I saw that cow I thought: "He has been overdoing it with Photoshop. Then I continued...

At least we can be glad that the poop too was of plastic!

Dick said...

Haha Sunkyoung you're a quick learner

Willem, yes we know them but will we ever really understand them? lol.

Gretchen said...

Pretty neat place! Thanks for sharing it.
