The Kasmans farmstead ('Kasmans hoeve' in the Dutch language) is an arable farm of 148 acres in a polder at the peninsula South-Beveland, Zeeland, The Netherlands where wheat, onions, potatoes and sugar beets are grown. The farmer and his wife (Bert and Jolande) have in addition to this branch of business, a holiday house next to the farm. In the house is tried to preserve many authentic aspects of the former interior, reflecting in this advertising sign at the entrance of this holiday house, showing a farmer and wife wearing traditional clothes as depicted in this one.

A tad manic to me, hence it's my contribution for Manic Monday.

They look a bit funny and that qualifies them for m. Monday. Must be a good place for a short holiday.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Sounds like a wonderful place. That sign would certainly get your attention!

I find myself feeling sympathetic for the poor farmer's wife, who has been immortalized on the sign with rather burly, masculine features. Poor woman!

And is he wearing earrings, C? Or are those loops part of his hat?

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Now the four young ladies in the linked photo are quite lovely, but the all-gray lady with filled eyes is a delightful sculpture but it immediately reminded of Der Golem.
