more inexplicable than the shopping cart

as you may know, i like to "collect" shopping carts found in odd places... the thing is, shopping carts have wheels... ones that work... and they could be considered to serve a purpose... i mean - if one finds a shopping cart in the back of beyond one could presumably assume that it was used to lug some stuff there... but how do you explain a tire???? i'm guessing this was at least a km from the parking lot... why would someone drag a tire 1 km into the bush... why?????????

To make a very good picture?

Interesting. Very nice focus.

I'm thinking for putting something on maybe? They're good insulators.
We often see abandoned tyres at the start of tracks but not in the middle of nowhere.
Makes for an intriguing shot?

love this. coincidentally I also just came across a tire in the middle of the woods. your photo is much better than the one I took!

So sad, completely out of place.
