 Samples of humor on the streets:

  1. I took this shot in Penticton BC.
    Young kids flock to the area in the summer months from eastern Canada to pick fruit in the orchards and help out in the vineyards. They needed a little help waiting for their first paycheque and I thought their sign was a humorous polite way to ask.

  2. I took this one earlier this week. may be i didn’t wait long enough, and the toilets are too hidden

  3. Street Challenge – Humor, Seattle, WA USA Sony A6000 Lens Jupiter 9
    Title: psychic Muscle Atrophy

  4. Street Challenge – Humor, Rostrevor, Co.Down, N.Ireland, Fuji XT1, 23mm
    Title: ‘Just Out Walking My Reindeer’
    I just had to pull the car over and capture this shot – not a sight you see everyday.
    PS this is ‘street’ photography in rural Ireland!

  5. I got bored and turned down an alley. There they were: The Mop Sisters. Fortunately, I did not have to build up my courage to ask for their portrait.

  6. “Apparent floaters.” This pair appear to be floating as they observe Olympia, Washington’s annual Earth Day Parade, Procession of the Species.
