Stuff You Don't See Every Day

Seeing and experiencing things that are different from one's everyday life is one of the joys of travel.  And because you already have a camera in your hand, you take a picture.  Here's a montage of some of things we saw that tickled our fancy.


I wonder which one was the bird's favorite CD?


We had to look twice at this one.



I love cuckoo clocks.  My grandparents Gordon had one in their dining room/living room.  I used to sleep on the sofa at their house and listen to the clock chiming late at night.  I believe that my Grandfather brought it back as a souvenir from World War I.  My brother Kerry has it now.  It was a lovely, simple one but absolutely charming to a small child.



I want one of these.

What a cool light fixture.  Can you tell that it's made of broken crockery?



And some great signs.






And after seeing lots of gorgeous and uber-serious church art, these were refreshing!  Can you tell what they are doing?
