we were too poor to have milk delivered to our home growing up in the old country. but when i had my little boy, i would have fresh milk delivered and he would sit by the window early in the morning to watch the milkman bring in the milk. your photo brings poignant memories for me as well as i'm sure it will for a lot of folks. aces!
yes when on holidays the milko would come around in his lorry and with a ladle he would fill your container from the milk can. All you had to do was provide the container.
Pretty dramatic filter. Cool shot. Brings back memories.
@mirroroflife I remember that too! I was born in Adelaide and as a small boy I remember waiting excitedly for the milkman to come along in his horse-drawn cart and ladle the milk into our billy can hanging from a hook on the gate post. My parents emigrated to Canada when I was six and the milk deliveries came in glass bottles there. Not as much fun for me.

I like the hard contrast between light and shade.
