A-gnome-ilies

A llittle known fact about Wrocklaw is that it is home to a population of Ancient Gnomes...some of these little critters jump right out at you but most of them are hidden quite well... Nobody knows how many there are in total, even Wroclovers, they are spread all over the city, finding a new one is always a big deal...They all have their own names, professions and stories.  

Seriously, these little dudes actually have a lot of symbolic meaning.  In the 1980's a group of anarcho - performance artists called the Orange Alternative staged anti communist protests, one of which was to dress up like gnomes and run around the city...in warm underwear.
