Unexpected. The world is an interesting place: we stumble upon unexpected things each day, like signs that are unintentionally amusing, bizarre sculptures, or even strange evidence of a miniature world on the side of a building (like the door and window in the shot above, discovered in San Francisco’s Mission District).
So, your photo challenge this week is to capture something unexpected. You can also interpret the theme in other ways: a street scene or landscape that just doesn’t look quite right, an impromptu portrait of a loved one, or any other image that reveals a sense of surprise.
IN A NEW POST CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO THAT MEANS UNEXPECTED TO YOU.
We look forward to seeing all of your unexpected shots!
— Cheri

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our newsletter — we’ll highlight great photos from each month’s most popular challenge.

So here is something unexpected:
CROWDED IN LIKE ANIMALS
Whenever you travel in Latin America by bus, you should be ready to expect the unexpected. Racing up the mountains in suicidal speed while in thick fog or driving trough the rain forest, it’s always an adventure. My last trip to Ecuador was as usual full of adventure too. First of all, the way to the city Baños was simply stunning.
Coming from the coast, our bus was slowly climbing up to an altitude of almost 2 kilometers, high up in the Andes. Other surprises on this trip came in the form of minor food poisoning and a nearby eruption of a volcano.
However, something else stuck to my mind…

Nice challenge. The outcome of this shot was a bit unexpected. It is not always as it seems…..The new “art” on the wall and the movement of the man makes this story:

Few days back, I saw a little girl playing with camera. She was so curious about the details and what will happen and how to do it and all those stuff that was unexpected to find at this small age. I was surprised and was happy to see that I didn’t see earlier in my life.

I think the photographer might have goofed here. Perhaps they should have taken a sec to get a better vantage point? just a thought.

I have the perfect photo for this theme, and I took it earlier this week! It’s nature’s version of photobombing: a duck flying right in front of a pelican I was trying to capture on camera. Enjoy!
