Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual

This weeks Weekly Photo Challenge:
Share a picture that means UNUSUAL to you!

This was a fun challenge for me because I like looking for unusual things. However, what’s unusual for one person might not be unusual for another person. For that other person, unusual might cross over into the land of disturbing which could be the case with the last picture I’ve included. But don’t worry; I’ll give you ample time to turn back before you look at it.

I took this picture a long time ago and it’s not a particularly good picture, but because it’s a water tower shaped like an ear of corn I file it under ‘unusual’ and included it. The tower is located in Rochester, Minnesota.

Yawn, right? Yeah, I know, it’s boring.

The next picture is a new arrival in my grocery store’s produce department. It is the Sumo citrus. I saw them for the first time on Sunday but I didn’t get one because I’m a somewhat fussy eater and appearance is as important to me as taste and considering how ugly these things looked with that coarse, pitted skin and then that weird bump on the end I passed them by because they looked too disturbing to eat. I read about them when I got home and realized I can’t always judge an orange by its rind and I may have made a mistake passing them by. Anyway, they’re unusual looking.

Still at the grocery store (are you picking up a food theme here or is it just me?) the next picture is of a frozen treat that isn’t unusual, but I think the artwork on the package is a little bit unusual. I’m not really sure what they’re trying to sell and maybe they’re trying to appeal to a couple of different markets. Here, in all their excited glory – and unusual packaging – are Diana’s Banana Babies. (The packaging: is it just me?)

The fourth picture is something I found unusual. It was on the sidewalk outside of my home and it’s an enormous bird dropping. Bird droppings on sidewalks aren’t really unusual and what made this one stand out is (like Diana’s Banana Babies) the size and the fact that the “stuff” appears to me to be in the shape of a running dog. A big dog. Maybe an Airdale Terrier or something?

Okay, now that I’ve offended all Airdale Terriers and their owners, here’s the picture I mentioned earlier that might cross over from unusual to disturbing. It’d debateable because, as you know, this stuff is objective, but you’ve been warned and forewarned is fore something or other…

It’s not too late to turn back.

Turn back now!

No Tresspassing!

Go Away!

All right. You’ve stayed which means you’re either a brave soul to have ventured this far or you’re simply insane and people should cross the street to avoid meeting you. The last unusual photo is the most unusual of all. The last photo is yours truly.

That’s it! Please feel free to leave a comment below and don’t hesitate to leave a link to your reponse to the prompt.
