Unidentified image on which players based their guess when the post first came out
When you travel off the beaten path, you never know what you’ll discover. Each moment is different and often “trippy” in some way.
Take this photo for example, which I took a few years ago on one of my many journeys abroad.
What the heck is it?
Where the heck was I when I shot it?
And what the heck was happening in that particular moment?
Any idea?
Post your guess in a few sentences–or maybe a clever caption–in the Comments section. In a couple days, I’ll tell you exactly where I was and what the heck it was that I actually photographed.
Whoever comes closest to guessing–or writes the best caption–wins!
What’s the prize?
Well, at this point, I can only thank you and post a link to your blog. Eventually, I may run a contest and offer an actual prize.
Until then, I’d simply love to experiment with this new photo guessing game and would love your help with it. By the way, if I keep this going, Trippy Travel Moments may focus on the following:
Trippy Travel Categories
Human/s…Being…a person or people in a one-time moment of one or more real emotions.
Off-Beat Oddities…definitely different, a little way out and maybe a bit far out (like the photo you see above)…may overlap with the next category on occasion.
Surreal Seconds…a bit dreamy and disorienting and slightly unbelievable snapshot in time (eg, patterns or illusions in nature)
Where Was It?
(Note: This info was posted after the players guessed in the Comments section below.)
I shot this photo a few years ago on my way back from Isla Ometepe, Nicaragua. It was taken while I was waiting for the ferry.
What Is It?
I believe it was a special yet sort of makeshift cart, which was created by someone who wanted to transport items they were selling.
I think that the owner did possibly weld bicycle handle bars on to the contraption so it would be easier to push/pull. I don’t recall if there were pedals.
Interesting how the color it was painted matched the paint used at the ferry stop.
As for the baby doll….I’m unable to explain it. Perhaps the person once enjoyed dolls or missed their child.
Hard to say. In any case, it was a slightly cute definitely odd one. 
And the Winner Is…
Steve of Do Something Cool! Because he identified the country, Nicaragua.
The other players, Sabina and and Aaron, tied for 2nd place due to the details they spotted. And Emma gets an honorable mention.
Thanks to everyone for playing! Hopefully, I’ll post another one next week–perhaps in the “Surreal” category.
