Oink!

I had to go in to town yesterday to take photos for a blog post that will be coming up later this week. Next to the castle, I spotted this little group standing in some sand:

Random boars at Karlsruhe’s castle

I’m not usually at that side of the castle, so I’ve no idea how long they had been there or how permanent they are. And there was no sign or anything to tell me what they’re for… Art? Something for children to play on? Your guess is as good as mine! They did make me smile though, so their presence clearly wasn’t wasted 😉

Oink!

I wonder what they were chatting about?
