Europe '04 Part I: Anti-award runner up

I finally shall begin posting pictures from my Europe pic from this past June. This will occur at an irregular schedule, but I'll try to average about one a day for some time. We start with what I was going to submit for the feministe anti-award for largest, hairiest mole:



This was taken in Haarlem, Netherlands. None of us had seen a mole before, and thought this was kinda cool. Note that it has no eyes, and the huge paws it has. Ah, underground mammals. Shortly after this picture was taken a crow came to try to eat the mole, but gave up, leaving the rotting corpse in the middle of the nice park trail where this picture was taken.
