 How would you react to a Hobbit drinking a Coke at elevenses?

This is actually a capture of a modern turf and grass building in Möðrudalur, Iceland. Since it's a restaurant, the Coke cooler isn't really out of place, not in these modern times. But then again, it's all about perception.

The following steps I applied to the capture, all done in Gimp/Ubuntu:

1 Crop
2 Curves, levels
3 Clone out water hose
4 Resize and save to .jpg

Thanks for the votes and comments. This was quite a stretch, I admit. I wasn't really thinking of a challenge when I took this one. But the irony of a modern label and old style building was just too much of a temptation not to enter.

They really are everywhere! Is this Iceland? Nice composition although a little flat.
