Stupid Lawn Ornament of the day...
Ok... So I'm driving around Mishref, and I spot this "Lawn Ornament/Sculpture".
At first glance from afar, I thought, "Oh... Some kind of dolphin".
The closer I got however, I began to get more and more disturbed.
So I did what I usually do.
I trespassed to get a better look, and take the obligatory photos.
WTF is this?
A Dolphin? A Trout? Shamu's Somalian Orca cousin?
Don't get me wrong...I'm all about abstraction -- but I highly doubt that was what these people were going for.
(It looks like a 2nd grade "Papier-Mâché" art project gone terribly wrong.)
As you can see, on the left is the original.
With a couple of crappy brush stokes, it somehow resembles a (rather fugly) horsie.
Puke.
So yeah. What a pathetic (and creepy) thing to place on your lawn.
[Note: When in doubt -- stick to Gnomes]
