Friday, December 21: The world is full of surprises, and i have run across many of them in my travels. The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is surprise: There was talk of some sort of apocalypse today, but so far, so good. Big surprise! In honor of the world continuing, show me some surprises! If you’re at a loss what to share, I bet many of you have surprises hidden under a tree or in a closet somewhere.
I was surprised to come upon this strange-looking prehistoric-like creature strutting his stuff along the shores of Lake Langano in Ethiopia.

It was quite a surprise to find I could stick to a wall like a piece of Velcro in the Trick Art Museum in Daegu, South Korea.
surprise, surprise! I can stick to the wall like Velcro!
And yummy! Isn’t it a wonderful surprise when someone serves up a head on a platter?
looks like quite a surprising meal served up on this platter
Finally, it was a fun surprise to come upon this Omani vegetable vendor taking a snooze in the middle of his vegetables at Nizwa souq.

Thanks, Lisa! 🙂

Thanks, Stephen. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
… and that’s one VERY strange bird in shot #1.
Isn’t it? That’s what I thought. A little scary too!
Quick off the mark, Cath! You can come around and hang on my wall any time. I love wall art! Merry Christmas.
I love BEING wall art! Thanks, Jo! 🙂
Great selections for surprise! Stick to the wall must be fun!
Yes, it was loads of fun! Thanks, Amy. 🙂
love these…I’d love to stick to a wall
I know, wouldn’t that be fun!? Thanks, Jo!
the headless thing was a bit…I’m not sure what it is
😆
Haha, Jo, I’m not sure what it is either. 🙂
Whew…i’m not the only one then
love the velcro one…. cheeky… blog you in 2013
Thanks so much! 🙂
Great shots and full of surprises.
Thanks, Lynne! 🙂
That’s a clever trick – the one where you are sticking to the wall! I’m trying to guess how it was done. Are you actually lying on the floor?
You got it Elaine; it’s a trick art exhibit where you can do all kinds of things like this. It was really fun!
Now, I’m curious. How did you stick to that museum wall? Oh, I just looked at it again, and you are laying on the floor! Hahaha. Love these surprises.
Yes, Rewired and Retired, it’s a trick art exhibit at a museum in Daegu, South Korea. You can lie on the floor here, take the picture, and then rotate the picture so it looks like you’re hanging on a wall. This was quite a fun exhibit!

Haha, it’s at a Trick Art Exhibit in Daegu. I lay on the floor in the exhibit; after taking the picture, I just rotate it!
