the attention to detail is spot on

and there’s always something to spot wherever you look like this car shop of movie cars

through to natural blending in with created (real trees in the background in the distance)

and annoying things like roadworks outside the holiday village

or confused toilet visitors

and a traffic disaster

the sense of humour even extends to the toilet sign (which was full sized – actually the sign and toilets were full sized)

glasgow bollard statue

Anne from I like recommended i searched out this statue and it didn’t disappoint:
“Probably the one thing right up your street in Glasgow is the equestrian statue outside GOMA which always has a police cone on its head. On a good day both horse and rider are sporting one. I keep meaning to write that up for Nothing To See Here!”
thanks anne !
