Here are the guidelines: You select one of your own photos to post that in some way utilizes the topic. Use the topic as a concrete prompt, or find a novel approach. Each person, just one post/photo per thread topic, (or two if you must)please. Photos should be resized to be no wider than 600 pixels. Too-large photos slow down the loading of the thread, and will be deleted. Read about how to post a photo in a thread, here. If you have an idea for a photo hunt topic, contact one of the Mods to offer the suggestion instead of beginning another thread.
Posting photos in the thread gives your permission for SlowTrav to eventually move the photos over to Photohunt albums in the SlowPhotos site unless you notify the Moderators via e-mail or PM.
This week's prompt is "Unexpected."
You're encouraged to describe your photo--where you shot it, details of what you were doing or what was going on, etc.

On my way home from work on Friday evening, in -30C weather, with heavy snow crystals in the air, I noticed my builders working on foundation and site preparation , making it ready for the new 12 suite condo building that is arriving sometime this week! That's dedication, working in this bitter cold weather! That was totally unexpected...I was sure they'd be long gone, home to hot chocolate and a heaping fire in the fireplace!

Who would expect to see a 45-foot tall clothespin in the middle of Center City Philadelphia? Located at 15th & Market Streets, across from City Hall, it's a landmark, a work of art, a curiosity, and a place to meet, as in "meet me at The Clothespin."
We didn't expect the devastation from the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helen to be so obvious or the regrowth to be so minimal, when we visited more than 20 years later.

Millenium Park, Chicago - The Crown Fountain. The faces change every couple of minutes - everyday Chicagoans supersized. And at irregular intervals, unpredictably, one of them will spit water, to the delight of those who want to cool off in its shower. Good fun. Linda

I have been in downtown Plymouth many times but I had never noticed this lovely statue/fountain honoring the Pilgrim women. It is before you reach Plymouth rock on the opposite side of the street. I was touched that the DAR choose to honor these very brave women.
One evening we hiked to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. We intended to take some photos of the arch at sunset. After reaching the arch this storm cloud blew in. We raced back down hill to the car, but didn't make it before all h--l broke loose. Within about one minute we were soaked to the skin and our boots had filled with water. We could smell the o-zone in the air from the lightening. We just made it back to the car as water began flowing across the road stranding those who didn't run fast enough.
Posted 10 May 2009 03:03 it would help if I added the pic...... AM Hide Post I took this way up in the affluent Telluride Mountain Village location, Colorado. They are dissapearing in the UK, now I know where they're going ! J
We certainly were not expecting Rocky Mountain National Park to be blanketed with snow -- the first week of June 2008! The entire park looked like a fairyland. The next day it was all gone...
Unexpected Visitor This li'l guy visited us three times along our hike around the base of the Flat Irons in Boulder... and each time he visited, he landed on my husband.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been
