It's not often that you see a cheerful military tank, but this pink-painted tank in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is almost cuddly. According to Flickr photographer Bob Ramsak and his blog Piran Cafe, the tank was made over in March by some anonymous artists, who also placed some flowers inside the barrel. Parked outside the National Museum of Contemporary History as part of its collection of military equipment, the newly rosy tank now matches its surroundings. The museum director said in an interview: "Since we don't know how we're going to return it to its original color, we'd like to thank these guerrillas, or vandals, that they at least chose a color that matches the museum's facade." The public art statement is just another reason to love Ljubljana.
