Good take on the challenge - I like that I can see the holes, but not what the signs actually are for.

This must be a mirage! I like how you've juxtaposed the two facades. I like the misty feel to the light and water on the right.

Great capture of water at night. Great colours and sharpness.

Funny, I just called it a Christmas Pickle without knowing the history behind it. Only after people started commenting on it that I found some information out.

As Harz pointed out it's an American tradition. Supposedly all the stories of it being a German tradition, finding it for a lucky or special prize was all made up just to increase revenue. Actual Germans know nothing about the tradition, even glass blowers in Germany that make Christmas decorations.

This one was given to us by my girlfriends parents. This was one of many glass blown decorations in a very large box of glass fruits, veggies, dolls and other various Christmas themes. We hang this one on the fish tank where our fish "Mr. Pickles" lives.

The pickle is delightfully tacky and well photographed...good DOF. It is, BTW, a German trandition, the pickle part, not the face.
