Maria: Is the first photo of millions of leprechauns? Why are they so grey? Are they all facing the same way? Are they waiting for their lick of paint? Most uncanny...

Hi Caroline, I took this photo at Cushendall's famous (not!) concrete factory. They had so much stock I don't think they ever had a customer! These objects were truely uncanny and totally naff.

Hi Marcela, I wish they were millions of leprechauns, they would be in much better taste than these truely chavtastic objects!

There is everything here from Buddah to a concrete fireman holding his hose so it looks like his willy! Hmmmm, must have one of those for the garden!!

It was the doppelganger effect and the stony deadness of the eyes and facial expressions on these concrete monstrosities that made them so uncanny. Not to mention the amazing numbers. (This photo only shows a small section.)And no, they don't get anything as classy as a lick of paint!
