A sign on a farm a few k's from our place. I'm not sure why they have this large sign up, possibly so people wont cross their property as a popular fishing stream runs through there.

Either way it's always tickled my funny bone me seeing the sign, as I don't believe they do spread pig effluent, as there are horses on the property, and as a general rule you wouldn't graze horses on pig manure fed paddocks.

Probably too busy to do well in the challenge, but the only other options I could find in the weekend really sucked, so here it is. :-).

Taken hand-held from the side of the road, post processing was curves, scale, USM and border in the gimp.

Good shot. Photo stands on its own. No explanation needed.

At least they have the decency to tell you...LOL Seriously, this is a cute shot. The colors are vibrant, the composition is nice, and the clouds and field make me think of the country. Of course in this case, it's a stinky, smelly, country, but that's OK. :o)

a bit less of a sky and a sideways shor could have improved the picture alot ... nice shot though.

Too funny! I'm left wondering why the sign is so huge! My gosh, you could practically read that from a plane!
