WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: Part 981 - Odd Couples

[joayne]

Every week, we select a new theme and then go out to shoot that theme. This week, the theme is Odd Couples. As always, be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme; creativity is what we're looking for.


Show us some Odd Couples this week. Doesn't have to be people...



Here are the rules:

• Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives.
• Shots need to be taken between Tuesday, after the new theme is posted and the following Monday by sunset (Whenever that is for you).
• Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
• Post your shots at any time during the week.
• Please abide by the Focus on Photography posting rules.
• Please keep your contributions to a maximum of 4 images or less.

As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.

Couple on a helicopter this afternoon. Seems a bit odd.

A couple of arrows on a street, what's odd is that they point to the end of a dead-end street without any arrows pointing how to get back out

@pegelli, for native English speakers, "odd couple" as a set phrase means a mismatch, an unexpected pairing, a pair that would seem incompatible.

Yes, true, but the rules also state, "As always, be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme; creativity is what we're looking for." It can also mean a couple (2) of odd things.
So I find the contributions acceptable.

Great! Now everyone has two kinds of couplings to look for.

If two things that don't harmonize make an odd couple, this young lady's outfit is a whole odd family.

Politicians (even former ones) make odd couples...



And this former Prime Minister and his dog are definitely an Odd Couple...

Thoughtful choices there, ::John::! Without knowing who the politicians were, I can still appreciate the idea.

That was the point, OhLook - no-one outside of Australia would really know (or care) who they were which is why I presented them in that way. You might recall I showed bronze statues of 2 women politicians recently. We have to get away from these themes - I am running out of statues!

That's not nearly so bad as having a statute run out.

Paul, where in Colorado did you take that shot, what mountains and what road? I'll be up there in a couple of months and would love to take a picture of that.

Cliff, this is at the end of a high clearance 4wd road to the Handies Peak trailhead in the San Juans, 20 miles west of Lake City.
