Strange Things Picture Thread

We have all seen some weird stuff out there and thought it would be interesting to start collecting and sharing our finds.

Found these two last summer. One is kind of sad, like a dumpster diving bear and the other is just plain strange.

Late summer in 2020 saw a lot of very large wildfires. The fires and the weather conspired to blow a lot of smoke over Humboldt County; it lasted several days. These photos are un-retouched; it really was this orange and dark in the middle of the day.
