Scarecrows are nearly universal. With the exception of Indonesia where the women would stand in the rice fields & bang on pots to scare the birds, seen scarecrows everywhere. Up until yesterday, Sri Lanka had the best scarecrows... people with terracotta pots turned upside down & faces drawn on them. And they'd put these scarecrows in all constructions sites too! (To scare away robbers.) But now... my new favorite... the burka clad scarecrow! ![]() Tags: India |
