Afternoon Walk

I like roaming the deserted streets in the early Sunday afternoon, it is one of the few quiet moments in a noisy city. You could even see (or imagine) strange things around, like a baby scooter watching his elders with some kind of envy.Lurking in a corner of a square still full of wreckage, a heartless machine patiently awaits the moment to crush and destroy again.Not far, in the same square, an excavatress motherly cuddles her cute baby bulldozer.At last, coming home, you may find at your front door a shining treasure pile of golden scaffolding couplers.

    And I just love your post from today! It's so funny, and your eye caught some most unusual themes. It's fantastic!!!

  16. I also like to stroll my city on Sundays afternoon. This way I can take photographs of buildings without cars blocking the view, photographs of store windows without having to explain the owners that I don't work for their competition or without being told by some overzealous guard that I'm not allowed to take pictures in some spot (which of course, according to the law is perfectly ok). Nice finds here.

  21. mmm ... just my sort of post, VP. Contrary to the general comment, I particularly liked the final image. That is a very large pile of scaffolding couplers.

    Wonderful post: both images and text.
