Scarecrow Candid - Follow the Piped Piper

Scarecrow Candid - Follow the Piped Piper, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (just dreaming).

LR-3018 - On the approach to Chillerton village you are greeted by the Piped Piper from Hamlin and his bright colours with the rats following. An amazing amount of effort has gone into many of the Scarecrow's in the festival. This only won 3rd prize! The Piped Pier below in the comments.

I will admit held off posting after all the comments about all the people leaving flickr (all 52 million registered users or 8.2 million active users that is)

Taken during in the Gatcombe and Chillerton Scarecrow Festival the effort and quality of some of the scarecrows is amazing, the humour as well is brilliant, hats off to the people that do this every other year.
