From Kammie’s page: Oddball: (noun) a person or thing that is atypical, bizarre, eccentric, or nonconforming; (adjective) whimsically free-spirited; eccentric; atypical

Kammie’s Oddball Challenge is for those photos that are sort of strange, or don’t fit in with anything else. There is no specific topic, so …

I have no idea what this is, but I took the photo somewhere in Chicago. It struck me at the time as an odd object, and then there’s the random water bottle someone left there.

This is a sad and weary water pump: overworked and underpaid in the middle of a heat wave!

Obviously the vestige of something else that is long gone. Open? What’s open? Where?

Apparently, someone at a nature center told us the purpose of these logs with holes in them, but I’ve forgotten.

Don’t count on this hydrant in case of a fire!
