Coyote Trap — E.LEE in Chicago, USA\n\nA Looney Tunes-style trap set by Wile E. Coyote wraps around a street corner, complete with red arrows and a cannon awaiting a hungry bird.

Homer’s Nap — DavidL in Barcelona, Spain\n\nPartially obscured by ivy, this surreal version of Homer Simpson lies drunk and asleep against a wall with a can of Duff beer.
