Just the Right Angle Photos

Here are a bunch of photographs that are humorous because they were taken at just the right angle — intentionally in some cases, accidentally, I presume, in others.

I received these in an email. I searched for the source on the Internet. They made several trips around the blogosphere but nowhere did I find any credit posted. I searched gather and found one of the pictures posted 15 months ago.

I found them amusing.

Enjoy.

I needed something humorous this afternoon. This did the trick. I love these!
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Feb 22, 2008, 2:58pm EST
We're supposed to "talk amongst ourselves" without a TOPIC, John?!?! You didn't give us a topic!!! I'm "all verklempt"... ROFL!
John Philipp Feb 22, 2008, 4:57pm EST
Sorry, Jean. Figured you'd just make up a topic if you felt like it.

Popping in on a brief break. Thanks for all the thanks. They are fun pix and probably not so hard to do something similar with your own photos next time.

Be back this evening, I hope.
Vivian A. Feb 22, 2008, 5:51pm EST
Hee-hee. Cute.

The gymnast is a bit disturbing.

The Leaning Tower is a nice change from the regular pics of folks trying to hold it up.
John Philipp Feb 22, 2008, 6:13pm EST
I agree about the gymnast, Vivian.
M. Bradley McCauley McCauley Feb 22, 2008, 6:30pm EST

Jo C. Feb 23, 2008, 12:20pm EST
I love these and Kimberly's fiery comment as well. That gal has spunk! Don't let her sweet face fool you :)
Jo C. Feb 23, 2008, 12:21pm EST
Spunk in the best way, I mean. She must have incredible patience. She and I seem to have husband with similar talents, good and bad. Luckily, we have incredible amounts of love for the guys. Lucky for the guys, I mean.
Jo C. Feb 23, 2008, 12:34pm EST
This article has just been cross-promoted in Kimberly's Thursday's Writing Essentials, latest article she has up. This promotion has been brought to you by the letter P which DDES stand for Promotion but also for Photosynthesis, the topic of the day for a certain Biology student in this household.

We have been reminded that plants provide things we need, help improve the air in the house (as long as that is not offset by huge amounts of allergens from plant pollen) and that cellular respiration and breathing (which people do, if alive) helps the plants as well. It is a circle of life, one of them.

Then the plants help us, in a neverending cycle sort of way, interrupted by pollution and global warming, climate changes, etc. I believe these are called "variables". Learning the formula for photosynthesis is not so nifty for some of us. Carbon Dioxide plus water plus sunlight is used by plants to turn into oxygen and glucose and things we need. That formula starts with Co2 plus H20 and ends somewhere else, with some glucose thrown in after the plants do their stuff.
John Philipp Feb 23, 2008, 12:48pm EST
Jane, you're certainly on a roll today!
P.W. Dowdy Feb 23, 2008, 6:44pm EST
Super shots, John. A nice and relaxing experience viewing your collection. Run this again from time to time.

I had to laugh along the way. Thanks.
John Philipp Feb 23, 2008, 7:41pm EST
Thanks, Pat.
Sandra T. Feb 24, 2008, 10:43pm EST
I love the one that it looks like the guy is washing his 3rd foot.
John Philipp Feb 25, 2008, 12:06am EST
It took me a few moments to figure that one out, Sandra.
Alice N. Feb 25, 2008, 2:26am EST
Too funny! Thanks.
John Philipp Feb 25, 2008, 8:56am EST
You're welcome, Alice.
John Philipp Feb 25, 2008, 8:28pm EST
