Three photo series of the most delightfully weird I've found on my hikes so far 😊

On a mossy rock in the middle of a forest, with no houses anywhere nearby, the top of a bottle was sticking up and when we lifted the bottle there was a little porcelain ballerina inside. How did it get there? Who knows. How long has it been there? Also unknown... but I'm accepting theories 😁

P.S if your country doesn’t have the freedom to roam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom/_to/_roam there’s something inherently wrong.

Geocache.
Done several multi-parts here in Aus. Fun in the day, but the novelty has largely worn off.

Me (Atheist / Amateur follower of science): "What a fun thing to find. Maybe leave it there for others to discover."

Also me (descendant of Celts / norse / fuck knows who else): "Do not take that! Leave *am fuath* things where you found them. Do not mess with *sìtheanach* stuff."

@NickEastPhoto

It was placed there by you, or more precisely your future self, when you travelled back in time.

For no reason in particular. Just to brighten your day and perplex you.
