A Day in the Life of a Shopping Cart/Trolley

October 9th, 2012
This amazing photo that Jerry @orangecrush posted has me wanting to see what other shopping carts folks have captured in "the wild".

And here are mine:


One from long ago:


@katharinehubbard I know you have one! :-)

@humphreyhippo that's the best one ever!!
October 9th, 2012
@jsw0109 @humphreyhippo Agree! Very cool!
October 9th, 2012
@cmc1200 @jsw0109 Thanks. It is one of my favourite shots of my whole project. Probably because I just came across it, ready-made for me. :)

@humphreyhippo Haha, this one is very cool! I've just put together half a dozen stories in my mind about how this scene came about! Drunken bender and taking the curve too fast are tops on the list! :)

Forgot I had 3 shots, its not a dump where I live honest!...

@grizzlysghost LOL. Thanks. :) I never did figure out what it was all about. It just disappeared a few days later.

@grizzlysghost the fact there are no people anywhere to be seen, the first thing that comes to mind for me is the beginning of the zombie apocalypse or something like Night of the Comet
October 9th, 2012
@jsw0109 Oh, I WISH Jeff! :)
October 9th, 2012
@jsw0109 exactly what I thought!!
October 9th, 2012
The only shopping cart(s) in my whole project. All your are much cooler
October 9th, 2012
@shutterbugger Well, you're one up on me. I can't think of a single time I've taken a shot of a shopping cart.
October 9th, 2012
@webfoot I'm going to have to remedy that. I always see them dumped along our street!

@katharinehubbard It's epic!!
@ktchpmn Probably one of the most beautiful cart shots :-)
@humphreyhippo I guess an umbrella can't save you when the zombies come. Awesome shot!
@heathen25 I love what the processing has done to the graffiti on that first one!
@shutterbugger They sure make a great stage for the birds! I think your is VERY cool!
@hmgphotos Great light!! The composition is really nice!
October 10th, 2012
@m9f9l Thanks! :-)
October 10th, 2012
This is fun, Mary! Thanks for including my pic! Now I'll have to look back and see if I have any more! :)
October 10th, 2012
I think I had a whole series of Target carts...

@humphreyhippo @jsw0109 @grizzlysghost
Fantastic shot HH.
The movie The Stand comes to my mind.
October 10th, 2012
Ha ha great thread. Here's mine
October 10th, 2012
@orangecrush No, thank YOU for giving me the idea! :-)
@tamsg4 Love the color!! They're kind of cute.
@fueast You WOULD find carts in lovely woodland settings! :-)
October 10th, 2012
@m9f9l Am wondering if a year on whether it's still there. Might go back at the weekend to see.
October 10th, 2012
@fueast Wouldn't that be something!
October 10th, 2012
@humphreyhippo cool composition...did you set that up or come across it?
October 10th, 2012
@ktchpmn Just came across it. The trolley had been on the pavement the day before. When I saw some one had knocked it over - I couldn't resist. :)
October 11th, 2012
just tonight I encountered a wild trolley. I never would have photographed a trolley if you hadn't started this thread. Thank you.

Shopping carts in the holiday spirit...
