Round bales of straw look like Easter Island statues to me

Die deutsche Version dieses Artikels ist: hier.

Maybe I’m a bit strange. So many things look beautiful or exotic to me. I take far too many photographs. Round bales of straw, that lie around on the fields in August, look like Easter Island statues to me. I know they don’t have faces. That’s not what makes them so statuesque in my opinion. They were made by humans, they are quite big and they change the view of the landscape.

I took so many photographs in August, over 200, that it took ages to sort them. I got a lot of work atm. My situation didn’t really advance. But it’s pointless to complain. I’d rather show you a gallery of straw roll statues (with dogs).

That’s maybe the maximum of weirdness of the landscape around here. Round straw bales look completely normal compared to the field in the middle on the left. I mean what was that? Giant slugs ate the cereals? Own photo, licence: CC by-SA/ Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported
