Definitely a boar, who I would not want to meet in a dark forest...great shot of the fountain and the shop beyond!
I'm intrigued with the base of the fountain which has all kinds of little critters (and flora) represented...frogs, snails, spiders, flowers, lizards, snakes and the shop which has colorful capes and scarves and handbags of every size shape and color!
asterix and obelix.
Lol @ Summertime Blues!!!
Excellent shot, so much to look at. But unfortunately I think that even well cooked, this one would be hard to eat!
The shiny nose--a sure sign that the people who rubbed it will have good luck, no?
Nice pig! Of course, I love all the critters at the base. I've seen this, but only when it was cold and lonely, and without the color.
