Halloween
Several cities have held naked pumpkin runs on Halloween, with people running around naked except for footwear and a pumpkin (or pumpkin facsimile) on their head.
Today's photos are from a naked pumpkin run in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington in 2011.
The pumpkin runners cross a street.

The pumpkin runners visit the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge.
And here they are by the statue of Lenin in Fremont. Wait a minute! We know that Fremont is a liberal neighborhood, but why is there a statue of Lenin there?
After the USSR fell, many Communist monuments were toppled. In 1993, an American found it in a Slovak scrapyard. He bought it and brought it to Seattle. Since 1995 it has been "temporarily" displayed on this prominent street corner in Fremont. Despite conservative criticism of the city government for endorsing "communist chic," the statue is actually on private property and the city had nothing to do with it.
So, Happy Halloween!
