The quality is terrible, but this picture is a real life mystery. Earlier this week, I was going through a file of photos from 2011-2012. This one is unexplainable. It doesn't relate to any other picture in the file. It almost looks like a bad double exposure with the glass reflections, but it was a digital photo. Burlap, plants, cars outside, nasty reflections, and those creatures...WTF?????
I literally have no memory of this. Maybe someone else sent it to me. I don't know what it shows.
10 SBD for whomever responds with the best possible explanation for this mystery photo. Please put your response in a comment. I'll consider the number of votes on each response and then pick the best answer.

Someone may have use your camera, on the the kids toys set up.
Your children or wife perhap.
Somebody set something up; that's for sure.
I think I see a dog's face here. Could this photo have been taken from inside a pet store?
Good observation.

Burn the land and boil the sea; you can't take the sky from me.
You're gorram right. The sky is mine! Heh.
It's a scene inside of a storefront window (or some other window) with the street behind it being reflected.
Would you buy anything from that store? :)
Well it depends. It could be a pet store or a toy store or just a display for something unrelated. I'd have to know what's in it. :P
That's what I want to know.
The more I look at it, the more I am thinking display in something like a children's clothing store or daycare. Something that says kid friendly, but clearly not designed by a kid. I'm thinking zero chance of it being a plant store or landscaping business because they would have done a better job. That's my best guess.
It's amateur hour stuff, for sure.
I have to say, this was my initial interpretation of the image. It doesn't look very confusing to me. I'd say the SBD10 goes to @clayboyn.
Okay..It's Dinosaur Diorama that is promoting world peace and racial unity. I also think there is some kind of vegan msg in there somewhere. Like: dinosaurs were all vegetarians look how they live and play and frolic in harmony.. don't eat meat & love thy neighbour ~
If all they eat is plants, then they've pretty well stripped that hillside down to burlap.
lol exactly! That's how they really died out..starvation ;)
And the vegan dinosaur wins it! 10 SBD on the way to you soon. Congrats!
Haha Sweet! Glad to be apart of that. Keep me posted on the next one. LOve a good creative contest ~
Easy uncle bob sent you a picture while he was walking past a shop display window which got hes attention as it consisted of a excellent display of plants and dinosaurs for the new florist in town.
If I saw that in a florist's shop, I'd keep on walking.
The brown cloth represents earth. The moss is very strange though.
The barren land, the dinosaurs (fossil fuels) and the dodge charger in the window reflection...Clearly someone sent you this warning you of the effects of global warming
A world covered in burlap.
Likely a shot of an "Art installation" during the creators break to have a "fattie" around the corner. :)
Fatties. Now it all makes sense.
Diorama taken from a window. The dirt is combined with the dark shadows of the black car.
Dinos and shadows. You can see why I went public with this.
Indeed. It seems that someone was fascinated with the project in progress. The cloth suggests that plaster (and/or dirt) was going to be poured upon to form the landscape.
I think it may have been taken by your friend who was waiting to meet you and got bored so he or she randomly took a photo of this window display. It could be the window of a themed cafe or restaurant? Something to entice the kids to beg their parents to go eat there? :)
Would you eat there?
Haha. As a foodie, no, but perhaps it is best not to judge a restaurant by its window display!
I don't really know but the grass in the middle tells me this would be a genius place to hide your stash in plain sight. :D
LOL the cartel was having their army of dinosaurs tote the grass across the border when Trump's invisible glass wall fell into place in front of them. They crashed into it and the sacks busted open, then the undercover cars pulled up on the opposite side of the glass wall and took this photo!
Anything that can run, jump, or swim is crossing that barrier.
LOL or dig. sigh We need more than just imaginary lines to keep people afraid of each other, let's build a giant wall and tell them the "bad one's" are coming.
Looks like the left overs of an art exhibit inside a window front. I think they were it was either finished or being put together.
Left overs...Now I'm getting the picture.
Doesn't make me hungry.
Yes, it could be that something was in progress, being taken down or put up. Nasty looking, though, isn't it?
Sure looks bland! ;)
jurassic park)
Needs more plants to complete the look.
Someone took a picture of these dinosaurs which are inside a room. The photo was taken from outside which explains the reflection. If you look closely you can see the white frame of the window. Furthermore the car on the left is build in 2004 which leads to the conclusion that my last sentence is nonsense
Not everybody has a new car.
Perhaps it was a message from an Alien life form - a collage of collected images, pieced together to form a warning that dinosaurs will walk the earth once again 😱😵😂
Phone the mothership and tell them they need to try again, 'cause the message came through kinda scrambled.
This is a picture of the set for the 90's television show: The Land of The Lost. Who knew that they were filming it at your home. They must be really quiet on the set.
Deathly quiet.
The main actors from the series the dinos...family sinclair..
Now that's creepy.
🐊😂
Looks like toy stegosaurus dinosaurs with some dirt and such on them, and another type down further but obscured enough to tell. But it looks to me like toy dinosaurs. I had a lot of things like that in my youth and frequently played with them in the dirt.
All this fuss over some toys?
It is a temporal photo anomaly. In the future when the swamp is drained, the reptilians have no place to go except to hide in store-front displays. :)
The last person who talked about draining the swamp filled it again with more native swamp critters.
LOL. That's why the photo is a future time related-anomaly! 2056
It's clearly a photo taken during time travel where the timeline of the dinosaur era and that of modernity have combined as one. It is hard to get a photo of, hence why it is blurry.
Were photos blurry 150 million years ago?
Yep, T-Rex had small hands so he had trouble with the camera.
They didn't have GoPro helmet cams back then?
Yeah but the pterodactyls hogged them all.
It's obvious that your camera is also a time travel machine. Some circuits got crossed, and this is the result.
My circuits are crossed; that's a fact.
It is the countdown to the zombie apocalypse. Plain and easy.
If those are the zombies, I'm packing my bags.
It's aliens. It's gotta be them dam aliens!
Some others seem to agree with you. What are they trying to tell us?
It looks like a halfway finished storefront window. The dinosaurs look like they might be metal or thick plastic. My best guess is that they are lawn ornaments. If you zoom in on the stegosaurus it looks like a lawn ornament or at least some kind of house decoration. It has a lot of details like colored eyes, different coloring to it's ridges, and textures like bumps on it's skin. It might be a small town version of Lowes that sells things for outdoors like plants, soil, watering cans, lawn decor, etc.
They need to order in some more plants.
Best explanation is it's an accidental shot. I do it often enough with my foot many a times and sometimes of something up at eye level when I'm not ready for a shot. Only thing to tell is the shop probably tried to decorate the the sacks as mountains and the dinos roaming the valleys but i had wanted to shoot the decor, I would have press against the glass to remove the reflection. If I wanted to shoot the reflection, I will have taken another angle for the cars and the plants to show more clearly. I heard another trick to remove the reflection when you cannot press against the glass is put it as close as possible and put a black cloth around the camera to shield of the light so there is no reflection.
I should have used a black cloth.
Ooops, that rule out accidental shot then. :-）
It might have been accidental. The sad truth is that I have no idea.
If you have any idea, then it should not have been accidental. :-)
That's why I have pictures of my leg sometimes.
Before we had weed and dinosaurs and now we have roads and cars... Easy, it's time dimensions intertwining ;)
(Just kidding of course)
Call it inter-weeding.
Haha I like that.
A time traveler in-between eras.
1970s and when?
The Jurassic period!
When the earth starts shaking, I'm outta there.
It is quite obvious really. It is a civil war representation designed by creationists. This is how they explain where dinosaur bones come from.
And where are the toy soldiers?
The dinosaurs were the soldiers and we find the bones of those that died on the battlefield. No one alive today can prove otherwise...
Watch out behind you!
Always looking.
How do you do that?! You got eyes back there, or always looking through partially backlit glass?!
Smoke and mirrors.
It's a toy store display for Jurassic Blahrk.
My daughter has stegosaurus's like those ones. Someone, a kid most likely has been making a prehistoric landscape and the Dino's are fleeing a volcanic eruption!!
I thought that was a car.
Hmm, not as exciting! :0)
Apologize didn't catch that part at first and voted with the trail on clayboyn. (that's 7 extra votes in total)
You can vote them all if you want. Trails make voting contests difficult, which is why I'll consider the votes but must make the final decision myself.
Yeah just thought in case it would cause confusion or too much counting.
Thanks. I'm not good at math anyway. Almost flunked that counting class.
