I struggled a little with the prompt this week - thought I might have to take a pass.
I'm not sure how to define unusual - and while I'd like to think that a sink hole in the streets of Boston causing traffic nightmares is unusual - well, really it's not.
(just another normal week, here...)

From my archives -
this horse gazes out of a third floor window in Galena, Illinois -
and, although it's not a real horse, there is still something just a bit disconcerting about it.
I'm thinking there must be a story behind a horse watching the activity from above,
but Google let me down on this one, so if anyone knows the story -
I'd love to hear it!
I am also very much looking forward to seeing all the "unusual" entries over at
52 photos project
Have a great day!

Well that would stop me in my tracks..very unusual!
ReplyDeleteSeeing a horse looking out through the window truly is a unusual sight. If you hadn't said anything I would have thought the horse was the real thing.
ReplyDeletethis is lovely shot and unusual and uncanny a horse watching you from a third floor window.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is one unusual window scene......curious!
ReplyDeleteI think there use to be a horse in an upstairs window in one of the buildings in our downtown. I think it was a doctor's office, they moved out and now the horse is gone.
ReplyDeleteThat is so very weird...wonder if he is stuffed?? LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL I did a double-take just looking at the picture...I can't imagine people actually seeing it in person!!
ReplyDeleteHA... LOVE the horse in the window.
ReplyDeleteThat' s a real head scratcher ?
ReplyDeleteLOL, too funny. If you ever hear the story, let us know!
ReplyDeleteit sure catches your attention! :)
ReplyDeleteok, i am so glad you didn't give up because this is PERFECT for unusual...i love it! how weird it looks!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it might be hard to top your entry...A horse in the window of a building is a bit unusual.....but you have to admit it's kinda fun....
ReplyDeleteWell, this caught my eye! I thought the horse was real. LOL Perfect entry for unusual.
ReplyDeleteLove the ethereal feeling of this.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know the story.
Beautifully framed shot!
Thanks for the welcome back!
Mr. Ed would be really old by now...maybe that's him in his plush apartment. Love the photo!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a photo!
ReplyDeleteI want to invent a fairy tale to (but unfortunately my English is not good enough)
Hi Denise You shouldn't have told us it wasn't real!!! Looks great unusual.
ReplyDeleteWoah, that is quite unusual! And a bit disconcerting as well like you said. Yeesh!
ReplyDeleteOne would want to take a double take when seeing the horse in the window, quite unusual.
ReplyDeleteSure makes you wonder!
ReplyDeleteWell, that sure does make you wonder! That's a great photo! One of my naughty children brought their pony in the house once when I was in the shower and then couldn't get him to leave! Luckily he didn't leave any 'presents'. But when he heard me shriek he sure left in a hurry! Hope you are having a great week. A sinkhole in Boston? Strange things are happening.....xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt makes for a great photo!
ReplyDeleteWas recently in Galena and definitely missed this horse! It is definitely a bit eerie, and really a cool shot. Glad you didn't pass.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. I hope it was a photo!
ReplyDeleteI have definitely seen this horse in the window. You can see it very well from the "Fried Green Tomatoes" restaurant across the street. I couldn't take my eyes off of it the whole time I was eating wondering the same as you. Sorry, have no clue why it is there.
ReplyDeleteNope -- don't see that every day! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's downright weird. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteWe love the horse in the window!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from RW & SK
Always good to have a camer a handy to capture unusual moments, especially like this one!
ReplyDeleteYes. . . there definitely must be a story behind this horse installation. And a large elevator.
ReplyDeletethat would take me by surprise. i thought it was a real horse! ha ha
ReplyDeletemy take for this week's theme is unusual and uncommon for me, at least.
Great one for this theme! I would definitely say that a horse on the third floor is unusual!
