Challenge #1 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by OldArrow.

Challenge has finished

How many times did you pass by some house wondering, “OMG, just what kind of mind can make such a thing?” Show us the weirdest dwelling creations you have seen. Intentional joke or just a plain ole tasteless flop; the whole or just a part... doesn’t matter - as long as it made you laugh… So share! See the Intro to the Series (click at Laugh@Life above) for additional information and please observe the Rules, so I won't have to disqualify your entry.

Processing rules:

Digital JPEGs with full EXIF only.
The longer side of the photo should be up to 1600px. Format and aspect may be as you please.
Minor post-processing interventions are acceptable.
No frames.
No watermarks, date/time nor other identification marks.
No composite photos, please. One-shot photo contents only.
Upload your entry resized to a maximum as set by the Rules, not larger!

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Make the funny in your theme internationally recognizable. If it includes text in a language unreadable to others who might thus miss the point, please explain the punch line in Description.
If your photo depicts an ecological or legal negativity, be moderate and neutral. Please do not offend anyone or anything.
In order to avoid legal issues do ensure that people in your pictures are presented as anonymous (faces suitably hidden, averted or changed).
Voting (suggestions): If the photo does not impress you much, award * or **. If the joke is good but the photo is so-so, give ***. If you wish you’ve shot it, give **** ... and if the picture really got you in both humorous and photographic sense, give *****! Any half-a-star above or below your decision means, of course, “between” ;)
No sandbagging, please. Begging for glory is actually sick and disgusting.
