Friday My Town Shoot-out – the Incongruous

I think Mary’s idea of finding something incongruous was a great one. It’s just that I have really struggled to find anything. INCONGRUOUS is defined as: Out of place, ridiculous, inconsistent, contradictory.

My ideal would have been a drover taking a flock of sheep down Pensby Road with a queue of traffic stacked up behind him. Perhaps not surprisingly, I couldn’t see that happening nowadays.



In some places it snows a lot over the winter so this sort of thing may be commonplace but here in Pensby enough snow to make a snowball this size is a rarity. And certainly finding it in the road this February was rather incongruous.

  1. I can just see that flock of sheep. So that counts as a photo in my mind.

    Nice ice ball you have there.

    Thanks for participating and sharing. I do like seeing different streets around the world. How our shoot outs broaden our worlds and allow us to walk in with sheep or ice balls.

  4. I wish we could get some snow around here, occassionally. That would be incongruous. Got your photo posted.

  5. I agree about the flock of sheep. I saw a herd of cows with two vehicles behind them but that is not incongruous in my part of the world - darn!!

  6. I thought I was seeing things!! Snow in Pensby in August! Of course it is one of your themes. It looks like some one took a long time to 'roll-up' that big ball of snow from such a light covering... I wonder if they won the bet?

    Love the blurb on St Augustine and the quotation.

    Love Granny

  7. Since it is summer here, that was unexpected. Maybe it's a new way to save your parking spot?

  10. Nice big snowball; I can easily pretend it's a sheep. No problem.

  11. The bottom half of a SNOWMAN at one time and he certainly has met his demise!

  12. I agree that snowballs in the street are odd, in my town it only snows once every 30 years. I remember the two times during my lifetime vividly.

  13. Isn't it wonderful to live in a place where a big snowball on the road is incongruous?

  14. HAHAHA - I remember this one, makes me smile :) - So, how do you suppose the snowman is making out without his bottom half??

  15. this is great, possible it got stuck under the wheels of a semi and got dragged until small enough to fall out...

  16. How funny! I'm surprised no one has accidentally run into that on the road.
