Unreal camera critters, again







Photos by Richard Schear and Kay Davies
During shore excursions from our Viking River cruise on the canals and rivers of The Netherlands and Belgium, we saw plenty of camera critters, and many, if not most of them were unreal.

From chocolate ducks to golden eagles, and even a statue of a chocolate elephant, Europe is full of statues and figures of animals of every ilk.

    The old country sure loves statues. We have a few in Powell River, but mostly real critters like loons, deer, elk and bears. Some I like finding during my treks, other I prefer at a distance. Can you guess which? - Margy

    They are all awesome though, even when they are not real! Fun camera critters.

    You are so observant! I loved all these images and I really liked the chocolate ducks - they look as though they're pretending to be chessmen.

    I don't know if I understand the point of animal statues...but anything chocolate is cool by me!
