Year of the Snake

...and rainy for many days.

...which looks like dysfunctional bicycle rack. I recalled I have somewhere seen similar odd playground equipment as in Stefan's shot . Inspired by Stefan, I decided to go and find it. So, I chose a little different route for my morning walk as usual, and found it in one schoolyard. This strange object made me remember also an old book 'Catalogue d'objets introuvables' by Jacques Carelman . So, do you know any other odd objects like these? Or do you know how this playground equipment is supposed to be used? Maybe I should go lurking around that schoolyard to find out how kids use it, and probably get arrested in doing so =D

Houses are well insulated, windows sealed with triple glass, thus making it comfortably warm and not drafty at all inside the houses. A strange combination of Turkish and Japanese cultures one could say. And if you try to point out a Finn out of the crowd, then just look at the shoes. Finns don't take care of their shoes. I guess it has something to do with the weather, which is dusty and muddy half of the year. Finns probably sees it pointless to spend too much time on brushing and polishing their shoes.

So, there is a meme to take a shot like this, and there is a meme to ask other people to do the same.
