scarecrows of the world
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’…

i have been following your ‘best of stories’ for a while … and some have really grabbed my attention. see, i’m a traveler at heart, and some of the interesting places you discover are things i’ve never seen before … and i add them to my ‘places to go’ map.
particularly, things like the cool rice farms and other sites around the world.
