I captured this rare shot of a giant German snail during a brief visit to Octoberfest in Munich. They grow so big because they live off of spilled beer during the festival (there is a lot of spilled beer). I am quite lucky that, although huge, they are still quite slow - or I would never have escaped with my life (I was walking with a cane at the time).
My my, that is a large specimen. Beer has been a factor in my growth as well!
I know, eh? All those people telling us that beer would stunt our growth when we were young were just trying to spoil our fun. I mean, look at our bellies! "Stunt your growth" my ass.
Ride 'em cowboy!
Hee haw!
This one has to be running on German beer indeed :D
Racing fuel!
