Loughborough Backstreets ~ 34

A shot from earlier today spotted when I took Sam out for a driving lesson in his car.

Taken through the fence at a major site in the town that closed a few years ago with the loss of thousands of jobs.

I thought it bizarre that these 2 fire extinguishers were sat outside in the middle of a path with a huge pile of rubble behind.

The two lonely soldiers! Nice mono - good compo.

[Jocasta]

Brilliant backstreet photo - wonderfully gritty. Is it this week that Ben is having his surgery? Hope all goes well and will be thinking of you.

[Sean O'Neill]

@jocasta hi Jocasta, Ben's op was last Tuesday and it went very well. All the details are on my post for Sunday 9th March.

[Andy Roe]

So glad that Ben's op was a success.
Love this picture - like two old men mourning the passing of their place of work!

[Jocasta]

@seanoneill So glad to hear that all went well - your family has been in my thoughts. Pizza and Xbox sounds good.

[Ivan]

It is bizarre, good for photos though - super rendition in mono, Sean.

[Kathie]

Great find but yes very odd.

[Ross Walker]

It is strange. I wonder if these were red, and how they looked in color?

[Shanne]

really bizarre, nicely done

[Daryl O'Hare]

Quite odd. I have the same question as Ross although I have in my mind that they are green. How I think that I have no idea! Hope all is well at home. Good to see a new photograph too! :)

[Sean O'Neill]

@rvwalker @darylo They were red. Aren't all fire extinguishers red? All great thanks Daryl. Ben back at school tomorrow!!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@seanoneill There was no explaining the green idea except my hope they were green? hahahaha. So glad to hear Ben will be back at school.

[Sean O'Neill]

@darylo haha, and you had me about to ask my other son Sam to get me a shot of a green fire extinguisher in NYC when he goes in April!!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@seanoneill Sean makes note to self: "Never rely on Daryl for accurate information. She's got her head in the clouds most of the time!"

[Sean O'Neill]

@darylo ....and up until that moment I had believed everything you have ever told me.....

[Simply Amanda]

Odd sight for sure. Love all the textures.

[Andreas]

Oh, very cool composition.
