OCOLOY Day 328: Have you ever said don't...

...throw that away - it might come in handy one day?

Well the owner of this property has clearly embraced that philosophy firmly and with both arms!

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Even more worrying viewed on black!

[Tracy]

I love how the eye is drawn in. Beautiful!

[john morley]

the hoarders are a strange breed, thankfully we are all different, makes for an interesting world and pic....

[David]

What a great mess of stuff! But it makes for a good pic. I always like the juxtaposition of the mechanical with the natural

[gloria jones]

Neat contrast of nature's fallen leaves and man-made clutter

[Harriet]

But the minute you toss something out, you'll need it. Love the leaves against the junk, the shapes are interesting.

[Domenico Dodaro]

How I do understand him!...

[Maggiemae]

Depressing really! See this sort of scene in a whole lot of places!

[Richard Sayer]

@domenicododaro And it just has to be a 'him' doesn't it!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@vignouse he can't but be a "him"!

[Jasper]

A treasure trove, photographically at least.

[Tim L]

We too have places like this all around, especially by the railway lines. Surprised at the lack of a falling-apart caravan and enamel bathtubs.

[Julie Duncan]

Ah, the treasures to be found! Intriguing shot! :)

[Joan Robillard]

Something familiar about this. See this "problem" is universal.

[Kathy]

Looks familiar. Nice capture.

[Junko Y]

What a statement this scene makes!

[Taffy]

Great commentary in the narrative and it is perfect for what we are seeing.

[kali]

oh tell me about it, I live with a 'it-will-come-in-handy-one -day" person! thing is he is often right!

[Dyan Stevens]

Well if your oven goes out, you know where to find one.

[Scott Houston]

I suspect definitely prettier in B&W! Well composed, as always.

[Margo Sayer]

Although we're both hoarders, I do have a purge on a fairly regular basis. R is better than he used to be; all is relative. He hasn't yet achieved a multi-functional hoard of such volume as that which he has photographed. Perhaps he wants me to realise how virtuous he is:-)!
