Show Us A Picture You've Taken Of Something Unusual, Uncommon or Strange

This is a picture I took about ten years ago of my dad's hometown in Clifton Texas. I suppose there is nothing interesting or unusual about it to many but I can't even begin to imagine what it was like growing up in such a small town. Always reminded me of the movie The Last Picture Show whenever we visited there.

Our Iconic red phone boxes are no longer housing phones.. Instead they've been sold off to any individual who wants them or changed into something more useful.. ie housing a defibrillator .. or in some of our little hamlets housing a tiny library...

I don't think Jesus would be depicted carrying a weapon, though. Granted, there is an iconic connection bx Jesus and a spear, but I thought maybe that doll is supposed to be St. George, except I don't think I've ever seen him depicted nude.

Look again; it’s a cross. You can google "baby Jesus Spain nude" for similar images.

(I have no horse in this race 🙃. I just like useless facts.)

Not sure if anyone would class this as Odd.. but to me it's a little different. I took this picture many years ago, at night of the pillar box ( Postbox).. in the dark at the entrance to the alley where the Post Office one stood . To this day it remains the clearest picture I've ever taken in the dark..

I like it because it's orange, it certainly is a very clear shot and reminds me of something that would be used in a movie scene. Great shot HD. The train by the lake with trees is nice too.

While living at our mountain cabin, most evenings I'd step out just to view the night sky

Sometimes taking the Nikon

Clouds do funny things at night when there's a big moon


One evening, after downloading the pics, I noticed something a bit unsettling

The night sky appeared to be watching me,

watch it

That was a few years back
I still get a bit creeped out seeing this

I dubbed it Night Vision

Train picture by the lake ?.. :unsure: Did you mean the night picture of the Narrow boats at the canal ?...:)

Rooftop Moose On The Loose: I was stopped in traffic while riding the bike through Bennington, VT, on my way north. Although generally not prone to look up when focusing on traffic, this is what caught my eye.

Traffic aside, one of the fun things about Bennington is that you never know when you might run into one of these creatures. Another ride was greeted by this see-through moose on Main St.

The town likes moose (the plural of which have been referred to as moosies)

Poor moose , look his stomach is completely empty!

Unusual Uncommon Strange​

Me and the Sugary One
Unusual because the photo was taken about 4 in the morning during another night of insomnia
Uncommon because I'll never be able to take a picture of us together ever again
Strange because I had Sugar by my side for 15yrs in retirement ... and she never knew my name
