June Photo Competition: Out of my element

[phi-dan]

Very surprised to have one, although going by the comments it was very much a vote for the subject matter than any skill behind the lens.

So, to the next theme:
I've just spent half-term visiting various relatives, so "Out of my element" seems to be rather apt.

This could be literal: something outside its natural element, eg something that should be underground being in the air, something that should be in the air being underwaterhttp://www.aviationinsurors.com/images/underwater/japan1.jpg
or figurative: something just in the wrong place or situation for it / you

I hope this theme works out, good luck and enjoy!

Not really sure where this thing should really be but in the middle of a pier in Wales seems a very strange place for a cross-dressing monkey to be found....

Not only out of his element, but out of this world.
His name's Yorick - alas:

I may change mine but I'll put this up to be going on with. Four little boys, how does that fit the theme? These are children in a refugee camp in Northern Thailand. Their families are Burmese and they are now trapped in on the nomansland of being illegal aliens in a country where they will have little prospect of an education or medical care and they won't be permitted to work so face a pretty miserable life. I was given permission to visit the camp and see what sort of life these poor kids lead - they can't go back to Burma and they can't live freely in Thailand.

Bought a £2 glass orb from Ebay & had a play with it. She's in her own little world.

Most definitely not the correct place for an iguana, the south end of Loch Ness. Still have no idea why it's there.
