Have Snark, Will Travel - Travel Photo Blog
Hilarious, silly and confounding travel photos, captioned for your snarky pleasure. Because travel is like life -- and life is often funny.
It’s not every museum that can make the abject misery
of a medieval flail look this sunny and delightful.

The evocative, poetic landscape of modern-day Orange County,
as viewed from the 4th floor of the Hyatt Huntington Beach Resort,
Huntington Beach, California
Hey, don’t look at me like that.
This is simply a place for people who are good with tools.

In the small, dusty mountain town of San Javier in Baja, Mexico,
famous for its 18th-century mission,
there stands a video arcade shaded by a palm-frond palapa.
The games are The King of Fighters and…your guess is as good as mine.
In the central coastal town of Cambria, California, resident Michael O’Malley gives 90-minute tours of Nitt Witt Ridge, otherwise known as California Historical Landmark No. 939. The longtime project of now-deceased local character Art Beale (aka Captain Nit Wit), this questionable tourist attraction serves as a funky monument to trash collection…and quite possibly, OCD.
This sign could be hung anywhere on the sprawling, refuse-strewn hillside in front of the ramshackle home, but really?
A discarded pair of toilets seems like just as good a place as any.

Homes for disabled veterans in Italy, known as Casas del Mutilato,
were built all over the country during World War I.
A bizarre form of national tourist attraction,
the name “Casa del Mutilato” cheerily translates to “House of the Mutilated.”
Add the creepy shadow of a pruned sycamore tree
and you’ve got yourself a scene straight out of a silent horror film.
Have a great time on your Italian vacation!

On Grand Cayman in the western Caribbean’s Cayman Islands, there’s a place called Hell.
It’s a swampy snag-fest of spiky, black shards of limestone
that were once feared to trap hapless, wayward seacraft and swallow people whole.
Naturally, it has a post office.
