Happy Sunday! Patti is back to host the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge and she has indeed issued a challenge – Where to find the mysterious.

I feel like finding mystery in one of our photos is a mystery in itself because I believe we should all know what we’re photographing, right? Okay, maybe it’s just me but I suppose, after a certain amount of time, even us the photographer may forget what it was that we photographed, especially in abstract photos like this.

I only took this photo last night. I know what it is but do you, as the audience? I bet your first guess is lights. Your next guess will probably be water. Am I close?

These are actually bubbles flying through the air. I went to see the biggest Christmas lights display in Utah last night with my aunt and within the show, there’s a show about a snowman unable to generate snow flakes. Hard as he tried, he could only generate bubbles. Eventually though, he discovered the fault in his power and out came snowflakes.

I don’t actually know if this is man-made snow. The flakes looked too big to be snow.

The other way to create mystery, I suppose, is not providing enough information in a photograph. Can you tell this is a carousel? Can you tell the yellow lights resemble the horses? The lights were transitioning in and out and I caught it at the moment when the lights were transitioning. Did it provide an air of mystery? I feel like it did, did it for you?
