Yes! We've got or used to have a smaller version of this beastie, Dracunculus/is something, and when the sun hits it it smells something awful, and though a bit phallic it made no political comment. (Very nice shot).

Simple and colourful. A higher score if I didn't think that thing with the white base were an upended bottle of ketchup.

Very intriguing. Something about it just eludes us, and that is its strength.

This is a wonderful engaging refreshing portrayal. The expression and lighting and framing which make the composition (lines, shapes, spaces) work extremely and subtly well.

I very much like this too - not just a mood and feel, but a very rewarding composition to contemplate. (Thanks to diamondbob for showcasing it).

My first thought was Saskatchewan - almost the same. Very good with the title concept. (Your town and nearly everyone else's; this conjures up the whole gamut of western settlement). Everything in this photo serves its purpose. jpeters might have a point about the sky - maybe more playing with the colour channels in the bw conversion.

Original and totally effective treatment. As pineapple might say, I can look at this and feel, and maybe learn.
