Photo Hunt - Rubbish
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is garbage. This was an easy one given the thoughtlessness of so many people. This rubbish was photographed in Battis Walk near Romford Station
minus the introduction, this photo actually looks interestingly nice... or maybe that's just me and my desensitized eye for garbage... have a great weekend!
See that you translated "garbage" into British English, jams! Re the photo: seems like you turned discarded materials into a photo that's worth more than one glance or even two!
Terrific photo...is it done with the 'fish-eye' setting?
This week's theme will be quite interesting to see what everyone came up with for their photos. Yours, my friend, is excellent actually!!! Mine is posted, come on over to my blog, if you can...
Such a shame. Sometimes I bring along a plastic bag when I'm walking my dogs and pick up trash and recycling by the side of the road. There's always more.
Oh gosh..how thoughtless of people to leave their OPALA (rubbish/garbage around. Excellent entry for this week's PH theme. See you again next week for another PH challenge. Cindy O
That photograph says it all! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carver. How thoughtless, and nasty some people are.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool looking photo. It reminds me of peacock feathers with some garbage stuck on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mine and have a great weekend!
Great shot Jams!
ReplyDeletePeople can be so thoughtless, but somehow garbageshots like yours still is artful to me and have a meaning.
I love this post.
And thank you so much for your respond on my image - it means much to me!

ReplyDeleteAlthough "one man's trash is said to be another man's treasure, it just can't be said of all trash.
