Standing in the center of what seemed like a glass lined room which was detonation point of and underground nuclear test, a mile from the tunnel entrance and 2000ft below ground surface, with no supplied air, a miners light, double suited up with anti contamination gear including a full face mask.

The underground salt mine in Kansas was kind of weird.
I wonder how Rosie O'Donnells girlfriend would answer this question.

Elfin Cove, Alaska. Surreal, beautiful. Here are a few pictures of the cove.

6th Street in Austin, Tx. Nothing but steers and queers and it was hard to tell which was which.

Surreal and beautiful are far different than weird as your pictures illustrate...

I had to crawl in side of a 40' pipe to inspect the welding of the cap plate before they put the base plate on and when I got to the end someone tack welded a plate over the bottom of the pipe. I crawled back to the end rolled up and went to sleep. We were working 12 hour shifts and I was the one they kept bouncing from days to night shift. They left me there for about 45 minutes until I heard my lead-man out side of the pipe asking were I was. they had to grind the tack welds to let me out.
Same job the boss told me to go down in the basement of the new hospital that we were working on Arrowhead Medical and inspect some anchors that they were going to install. Well the installation crew never showed up and they locked the door after I was way inside of the room no lights just black every where. again I sat down and went to sleep at the end of the shift they opened the door for me and asked me how I liked the Morgue.

That reminds me of the river in Utah that boils up from underground. It's right beside the highway and is fed from snow melt. Ricks' Spring, near the WY border, on Highway 89?

Haight Ashbury Disrict, San Francisco.
If you like people watching, it doesn't get much better. Was there in 1969 and later... Provincetown, MA blows it away for real weirdness... hard to believe I know, but true. +1. That was going to be my submission as well. Was there when there was some kind of "event" going on. Some extremely strange individuals. Mostly cross-dressing men. Definitely an eye opener for this Montana kid. Loved the Cape Cod area other than that.

Odd, WV. And it was a odd place. Hey hey hey... I have family from there... my great grandmother is buried there... Grandmother was from Raleigh County there... Weirdest place I have ever been is in a Kmart, when they are announcing a Blue Light Special.. and hardly anyone speaks English... and those that do, weigh 300+ pounds....

In a room alone with a liberal trying to talk logically with it...

15 years ago, Navajo casino in Dulce NM. Yep, I've been there. Except that is the Jicarilla Apache Reservatin in Dulce, NM It's Some of the best Elk Hunting in the Southwest right there, if you can afford it.... Anyhow, All the local Apaches looking at you like your about to be their next scalping victim. The weirdest place I was ever in was the Cadaver Room at Texas A&M Medical School, at night with a hot little Vet. Student gal I was dating while going to school there.

Living on a retired Russian "cruise ship" 50 miles offshore on the Caspian Sea that, as I learned, was once a centroid for their (Russia) sub's to rise up from below to the "ballroom" (that was our conference room but still looked like a show room) swap crews and disappear. This is winter 2010, my room about midway down the top deck. Yes, it sucked, particularly when 30 below but about as bad when running 120 during the summer. Oz is a blessing...

Pretty much the west coast. California/Oregon/Washington. The most phoney [bleep] I've ever been around. I know where to find those people but prefer to stay the [bleep] away. Just about any heavily populated urban center in this country is on my avoid list.
