Friday Photo: Triumph of the Gnomes

German artist Ottmar Hoerl poses after the opening ceremony of the art installation 'Dance with the Devil' at the main square of Straubing on October 15, 2009 in Straubing, Germany. Hoerl installed 1250 plastic garden gnomes giving a Nazi salute. The artwork has been highly controversial as Nazi salutes and symbols have been illegal in Germany since the end of the Second World War.
