While doing some street/flâneur photography in downtown Salt Lake City on Wednesday, I came across one of those scenes a fan of street photography lives for: the random public display of the unusual and/or absurd. Sometimes you come across these things, and it’s really obvious what they are about – and thus how they could be or will be titled or captioned. But occasionally, you just can’t put the pieces together in a way that tells a plausible story, so you ditch the plausible and let your imagination take a carefree romp in an arena probably better suited to Tim Burton or David Lynch.
I thought it would be fun to enlist your aid in coming up with a caption for the photograph that resulted from Wednesday’s find. Please leave your suggestion in the Comments area below. You will receive an email voucher for a free handmade, 100% cotton photo greeting card of your choosing from my online shop if I really like what you come up with.
“…the concept of absurdity is something I’m attracted to.”

Is that your suggested caption? 🙂 “One can only imagine what happened here.” When I came upon this scene, I asked myself that very question: What happened here? I think it might have been a stoning. This is Salt Lake City… Thanks, Jill.

Great shot! Sometimes the most absurd things are the things you didn’t make up.
