Odd

Opting for a similar approach to last year, and in no way content with merely looking sad or strangely serene, this season’s scarecrows are once again set on being sinister.

Or, at the very least, a tad intimidating.

The addition of raggedy flags only adding to the effect.

Although for some, equally ragged fashion,

along with weather affected features, are probably more than enough.

And definitely so when it comes to this truly frightening figure.

A face that does away with sinister and deals only in the demonic.

Some mannequins, somehow, appear more than a little melancholy, but despite being a bit dirty and somewhat dishevelled, this fella, with his slightly shaded seat and sun hat,

looks largely content with his lot in life.

A mere mannequin it may be, but there’s something amazingly melancholy.

Downright depressing even.

About this strangely unsettling scarecrow silently going about his business in solitude.
