Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual
All lunging for the hard roll.
Inspired to post this shot after seeing the example of the Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual. The largest lake in the Commonwealth-Pymatuning State Park.
I have never seen anything like this scene and it was much more dramatic in person. My friend Joan took me here when we went up to see the then abandoned Conneaut Amusement Park while staying with a friend of hers. She had told me I wouldn’t believe it when I saw these fish. She was right! I have always wanted to post it but then it slipped my mind until I saw Sara Rosso’s email from WordPress today.
Perhaps a video would capture the effort of these creatures, desperate to get the Italian hard roll. They are all on top of one another. It seems a crowded existence.

I can hear the flapping of their bodies. Look how open their mouths are ever though they are no where near the bread. Unusual indeed. Glad you remembered to post. It’s an amazing photo.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Omg. They are really unusual fishes.I hope that they are delicious.

This photo is great! Those fish are huge! Although a little unusual, I want to know what happens next (lol). How do they all get piece of the roll?
Thanks for sharing.

Incredible and certainly not something you’d see everyday.

Thank goodness cause I think that scene could give you bad dreams if you looked at it too often.

Happy St. Paddy’s Day!!!

Putting a new angle on the loaf and the fishes with this one! Those open mouths . . .!

Wow, that’s a lot of fish in one place. Too crowded for me! Great photo and thank you for the link back!
March 17, 2012 at 11:17 am
They look so “oily” like a grease slick.. very cool photo.. glad I’m not that bun;)
March 17, 2012 at 11:23 am
Not sure they would make good eating, though.

Great entry! Very unusual to see such a frenzy over an Italian hard roll. You captured the effort very well!
March 17, 2012 at 11:42 am
I wonder if they like the roll buttered or plain?

Well you know what they say the early fish gets the roll!
March 17, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Thats unsual alright and side of freaky. Only through the eyes of Ruth…
March 17, 2012 at 10:09 pm
they’re really making the water boil with all that flipping and flopping about. Great shot

Some of those fishes are like 5 fish miles away from the food, but they’re still trying to grab a bite!

the photo carries the feeling of that frenzy for the lone roll. I walked through salmon that thick heading upstream to spawn, and stood in a big holding tank full of live pollock, so the picture is reminiscent. . .

Ooh WoW! That is so funny and sad at the same time.
March 23, 2012 at 4:53 am
I can only imagine how chaotic the live experience of this was!
