366 Days of 2012, Day 120 - Market Mascots

I am a bit disturbed at the size of this cow relative to the chicken. Well at least I from this point of view anyway.

Small realistic figurines placed in an environment normally associated with the full size object create some really odd perspectives. This pair of stall mascots at our local weekend market make it all the more strange with the dramatic scale difference between themselves.

Shots like this one are easy when you are prepared to physically change your perspective through position. Don't be shy to lie flat on the ground to see things from an unusual angle though I don't recommend doing it in the middle of a busy highway without taking the necessary precautions!
