Obstacles

Summary
Obstacles are plants and rocks that are randomly placed in your village. You start with about 50 obstacles around your village. You can remove them if you have an available builder and a small amount of gold or elixir. Rocks require gold to remove and plants require elixir to remove.

Each obstacle you remove has a good chance of yielding 1-3 gems.

Plants periodically grow back and can be removed again. Rocks stay gone once removed.

There is an achievement called "Nice and Tidy" which will give you experience and gems for removing 10/50/500 obstacles.

Statistics
During the Winter 2012 Update, they added a xmas tree that gives 30,000 gold and 5,000 xp when cleared. Also Stone (small 4) looks like a tree, but tapping indicates it's a stone.
 * When the game respawns an obstacle, the respawn weight represents the chance of that particular item being the one that appears.

Gallery
Currently a large number of the obstacles are decorated for Halloween. This makes it difficult to add pictures for them. The next update will bring winter themed obstacles so it will likely be a while before pictures of all of the normal obstacles can be added.
