5.The Start of a Bizarre Horror Movie
This bizarre picture catches what looks to be an amazing collision between the aquatic and automotive worlds. The picture depicts a large sturgeon apparently frozen solid on a vehicle’s front bumper, producing an opening scenario fit for an unusual horror movie. The tag close to the fish’s tail gives vital background to this otherwise mysterious situation by suggesting that this was probably a previously caught specimen rather than an accidental meeting with a live fish. The extreme cold shown in the picture has turned what might have been a straightforward traffic accident into an arresting scene combining aspects of the ridiculous and the frightening. The sturgeon itself is really large, and its location atop the car gives the scene nearly sculptural character. This event reminds us that although in this case the tag offers a logical explanation for what could otherwise seem to be a supernatural occurrence, unexpected combinations of events can produce moments that seem to defy logical explanation even in our modern, regulated world.
6.”Hey Mom, My New Friend’s Gonna Sleep Over Tonight”
This picture catches a moment of sheer childish daring that transcends conventional sleepover requests, in what could only be called an amazing morning surprise. The scene opens in what looks to be a parent’s bedroom, where a small child has apparently guided a full-sized pony inside the house. The casual aspect of the scenario accentuates the ridiculousness of the circumstances: as if taking a farm animal inside the family house is quite usual. The practicalities of this achievement beg many problems about the order of events leading to this time. Was the child strong enough and driven to open several doors for their horse friend? Was this an early morning impulsive decision taken or a well thought out operation? The picture is evidence of children’s erratic temperament and their amazing ability to create circumstances that leave adults both confused and delighted.
