...that the summer is over!

I took this photo a few weeks ago. Until then i was sure that no human being could ever be scared by a flower!! I admit this one sent some shivers down my spine. I mean, look at this freaky sun flower zombie. I still try to understand why someone is leaving this 2m (!) tall monster rotting away for at least half a year in his front garden - a garden right next to the street!

Maybe it's a granny who finally found a way how to scare the young noisy kids away?
