Accidental Mysteries

Accidental Mysteries is an online curiosity shop of extraordinary things, mined from the depths of the online world and brought to you each week by John Foster, a writer, designer and longtime collector of self-taught art and vernacular photography. “I enjoy the search for incredible, obscure objects that challenge, delight and amuse my eye. More so, I enjoy sharing these discoveries with the diverse and informed readers of Design Observer.”

Amazing selection !
But I think that the links on the last pictures are mixed up. Could you fix it ? I'd just want to know where the last one is from. Thanks !

Accidental mysteries is always a really interesting part of this blog. I love the portrait at the end, its so odd. The urinal is the craziest yet and the upside down house is fantastic.
