well, what the.... by summerfield

well, what the....

next to the snowy bench last monday was a gazebo where the school children could sit around during recess and have their snack. but if you look overhead, there is like a sort of wire cage and inside are, well, i can only say it's garbage -- empty water bottles, empty soda cans, empty milk carton, a rotting orange, used serviettes, a couple of broken toys. as i said, garbage. why anyone would put it there is beyond me. i suppose some teenagers from the nearby rental buildings who have nothing better to do probably put them there. the gazebo is part of the park next to an elementary school so i doubt little kids would have reached that high to put their empty cans in there. i am annoyed at seeing this, yet at the same time i am rather amused.

you will agree with me that it is a good post for the eye of the beholder challenge. mais porquoi-pas!

we're at the end of november, well, almost. where did the year go? what year, you say? someone sent me a funny picture, grabbed from one of the "back to the future" movies, where the crazy scientist played by christopher lloyd tells michael j. fox's character: marty, whatever happens, don't go to 2020!
This is a very unique photo to say the least. I like the geometric aspect of it in the garbage basket in the middle that’s another level of interest.

Sounds like good advice to Marty…… And the rest of us too.

The geometric shape really caught my eye.

Very intriguing picture at first, then you notice the empty cans, bottles, etc. And then you think it’s an upside-down picture. Only when I read your comment I realized that, yes, some people took the pain to stuff garbage there. I love your ending story, it made me laughed.

It definitely is a very interesting photo. I love the symmetry and the plop of color of the garbage. Without your story I could not make any sense of it, and with your description other questions come up...

Cool image! I like the symmetry. Too bad about the garbage though.

Very cool shot, I like the lines. What is the real purpose of the cage?
November 29th, 2020  
too bad about the trash but the lines are interesting!
November 29th, 2020  
wow!

well the garbage provides good colour! good eye for you to spot the photographic interest here ;)

Its all the rage!! We did a seaside art tour and there were a few sculptures that started as empty containers to filled with c@@p and litter. I have visions of you lying on your back, dead centre of the gazebo, to get the perefect PoV!!

It makes for an interesting shot Vikki. Nice lines and angles.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - 😂 no. just the camera facing square up.

At first I thought it was a decorative piece of art...one man's junk is another's ...well maybe not this time! That is one of the lovely things of being into photography, we tend to see what other's miss.

Well spotted. It's a shame that people feel entitled to litter.
November 29th, 2020  
Great find. Always amazes me what people do with litter

Rather disturbing that people are so thoughtless, but it does make a very interesting and unique photo.
