I know this! Funny indeed. In addition, I like the rich colors and the vignetting gives a nice effect.

@GJC: Thanks GJC! It is funny isn't it? I want to meet the person who translated it ;D Tomorrow I'll post the follow-up Moss the Interupter ;D

@Stu: Keep an eye out next time, I think it's there year round, right before you head up the path up the hill to see the view. ;D

I love the sign! This is such a cool shot, or the VIP moss and the sign stating that fact :)

@bluechameleon: Thanks Bluechameleon. ;D Yeah, I really love this sign. Am thinking maybe my mini-tomato plants need a similar sign... at least I think they are important!

Much more appropriate to these mosses than some people to which it is applied!!

Very funny, and the photo is excellent. The DOF is perfect.

@Kenton: Thanks Kenton! Unfortunately the follow up image for the next day doesn't have quite as nice of a DOF... will have to go back and try again someday ;D
