'Mysterious Streetscape' is a global photo contest organized by cizucu, open to all creators. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from the submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
We introduce the submitted and winning works from the 'Mysterious Streetscape' contest, themed 'Lost Items in the City'.
This time, we also include imaginative comments from the cizucu editorial team.

'Pencil'
cizucu Editorial Team (Imagination)
An elderly man was sketching under a large pine tree and dropped his pencil in a hurry when a sudden thunderstorm hit. Although he has many similar short pencils at home, this was a favorite pencil.
(I've never used a pencil this short... The contrast in this photo is wonderful!)

'Piece of Cube'
cizucu Editorial Team (Imagination)
Boys who couldn't solve a Rubik's Cube the right way broke it. Since it was something they won by chance at a festival, they didn't mind breaking it.
(I've never been able to solve a Rubik's Cube...)

'Hercules Beetle Being Monitored by Camera'
cizucu Editorial Team (Imagination)
This Hercules beetle is actually the property of the landlord who installed the camera. Named after the Greek mythological hero 'Hercules', it has significantly reduced illegal dumping since being installed as a guardian.
(The card I wanted most in Mushiking... Is it a plush toy?)
Awarded Works
We have selected works that were particularly interesting or evoked a story as the awarded works. The reward this time is a book chosen by the cizucu team that stimulates inspiration, which will be sent randomly.

'Daikon'
cizucu Editorial Team (Imagination)
At the 'Daikon Festival' held nightly in the photographed area, participants bring their prized daikon radishes to compete in color, shape, and size. Except for the winning daikon, others are chopped up or thrown away, but many daikon enthusiasts gather for the honor of winning.
(A town where daikon regularly falls, what kind of place is it...)

'Junk'
cizucu Editorial Team (Imagination)
It seems that the junk dropped its junk hat. Only a junk would think of wearing a junk hat, and only a junk would drop the hat they were wearing, so the owner is definitely a junk.
(This was a hilarious shot. Well done! Thanks to the junk who dropped it!)

'Otoshi-mae'
cizucu Editorial Team (Imagination)
Kuidaore Taro finally auditions for a famous movie. If all the judges—a cowboy, astronaut, dinosaur, pig, and potato—give the thumbs up, he will be cast in the latest film. But... it seems Taro has committed an unforgivable fraud...
(The title playing on 'Otoshi-mono' was brilliant! IPPON!)
Finally
How was it? Was the imaginative talk a bit too exaggerated...? Since starting this contest, finding lost items in the city has become a lot of fun. Perhaps there's nothing more interesting than seeing the world change through photography. We hope to hold it again after some time, so please continue to walk with a smile, looking down!
