Pineapple Hats
This photo was taken April 2013 in central Taiwan. Yes, those are yellow hats on top of the growing pineapples. These hats are designed to protect the pineapple from the sun and heavy rains. I could not resist taking photographs
Cool pic! I live in Taiwan and have seen a lot of pineapple fields, but none with ‘pineapple hats’!

I took the photos of the pineapple with the hats in Dalin Township, Chiayi County. It was also the first time I’d seen this and I’d lived in Taiwan for 8.5 years and traveled extensively within the country.
Where is the CMP Block in Taichung? We lived near the Taiwan National Fine Arts Museum but my wife Jane Ingram Allen and I are not aware of CMP Block.

It is very close to the venue for the Taichung Jazz Festival. Actually, last year one of the smaller stages was set up inside CMP Block. I am terrible with road names but it is behind the department store in that area.

Yes, I do know where it is. Three years age when the city was working on the grounds where the big stage is located and the walk way to the Science Museum they had some of the acts at the Jazz Festival in the CMP Block. It most have improved since we left Taichung. Thanks for letting me know.
