as the season of frostbite and soggy socks is upon us i present to you some examples of ’snow art’ that deserve a viewing. any photos from flickr link to the user’s page.

i’m gonna start with the easier designs and work my way up to the hardcore ’snow sculptures’…

bonus:

real or fake, one of the funniest photos i’ve seen for a while…

the top-notch photo above was taken by robert b haas and shows a shrimp farm in ecuador covered in coloured flags - apparently one of the more effective methods available to ward off birds. click on the little bugger for a larger version. i also demand that you check out his other photos on the national geographic site here.

when you’re done, use your eyes to look at these ‘creative’ scarecrows…

above: a retired astronaut stands firm in aberdeenshire, scotland.

above: any clever bird would realise that the bastard’s legs are tied together. he’s not running anywhere.

above: it’s good to see disabled scarecrows in work.

above: the least threatening scarecrow on earth in japan.

above: a scarycrow in hull.

above: is scarecrowporn.com taken?

above: an extremely non-scary robot scarecrow in the peak district.

above: creepy isn’t the word. the ronald macdonald midget outfit seals it.

above: a britney spears lookalike in north yorkshire.

above: a scarecrow in kentucky. if you didn’t fill your pants after looking at this you’re doing well.

above: bodyless scarecrows guard a field in japan.

finally, a great animation called ‘the end’…
