This week’s Photo Challenge is Unusual.
Even for jaded New Yorkers, this picnic in the park was perhaps just a bit unusual…
(Click on the photo to enlarge)
Update March 18, 2012:
OK, I confess. This wasn’t quite an ordinary picnic in the park, even a New York City park…
It was a performance piece called Imaginary Picnic by the Push Pops that we saw at last year’s Figment NYC, a two-day art festival held in June on Governors Island in New York Harbor. We wrote about our visit here, and more photos—some of them likewise a bit unusual!—are here.
Unfortunately, it rained pretty steadily the whole day of our visit. Consequently the Imaginary Picnic was a bit wilted. But its full glory can be seen here:
To see, and photograph, more unusual scenes, visit this year’s Figment! Figment NYC 2012 will be held, again on Governors Island, on June 9-10. We’ll see you there!

Yes, I’d say that’s more than unusual… And quirky. And mad…

Thank you all for your comments!
I must confess to a slight withholding of information. This was not an ordinary picnic (although I’ve seen ordinary New Yorkers get up to things that were quite as strange, and unusual, on a number of occasions). I will reveal all in a couple of days—watch this space!
