   Moon Man and Marilyn

   Schettl's Freight Sales in Butte Des Morts, Wisconsin which is near Oshkosh. The property that surrounds the building is littered with hundreds of larger-than-life statues: a moose, a bull, a bulldog; King Kong, Bugs Bunny; dinosaurs, mythological creatures; and weird metal sculptures like a robot stegosaurus and a shark on wheels.

   Salinas

   Salinas, California is the land of strawberries, lettuce, Steinbeck… and giant cutout figures of fieldworkers.
   
   It started with roadside murals depicting baseball games, traffic accidents, and monstrous artichokes, but over the last ten years, artist John Cerney has accented the landscape of the Salinas Valley with his cutout portraits of farmers and fieldworkers. The figures are three times human size, and thus, easily visible from the comfort of your vehicle.

   Autostrade Vendors, Lebanon

   We pulled off the Autostrade (coastal highway running along the Mediterranean) to buy some drinks from a small vendor on the roadside...very common along the Autostrade; the main highway in Lebanon.
   
   They have a bit of everything and are dotted all along the road...just pull over, state your wish, and the owner/worker give you full service...no need to stop the engine or even get out of the car, and super cheap!
