… and sets you up for some pretty remarkable surprises.

This week’s Challenge is a fun one, and will test your ability to sleuth out the backstory. Can you do it?

I was walking down the street when I heard an odd trumpet tune being played. It was a surprising tune–not quite a melody, but something puzzling and a little odd.

Here’s the picture I snapped as I listened to the trumpet call. (And the link to the full-resolution image.)

This mystery melody only took me a few moments to figure out… Can you determine what it is, and WHY it is?

1. Challenge: Why did I hear a trumpet at this place? Why is the melody so strangely plaintive? What’s the story behind the this tune?

That’s all for this week–this is a good one–not terribly difficult, but a bit of a surprise!

Once you figure it out, be sure to let us know HOW you did it!
