Unwanted

Just a short walk from my apartment is a set of railroad tracks. The people of my fine city seem to have determined that the surrounding area was too boring and thus decided to add some "peronal touches" to give the place character. Here are a few examples:


Stuff



Need a trim?



Someone has lost their sole.



Elmo, why are you hiding there?

It always makes me sad to see litter. I've never understood what makes some people okay with doing that. I do like how your post on it!

Looks like a useful place for spares, I could do with some new shears. Good idea for a series of shots.

Strange how people lose shoes too. Do they go home without them on?

A fine series...I ask often myself how we find only one shoe?

In some cultures I means good luck to find a shoe! Let's hope that your photo will give as all some of that. Saludos de Guatemala

Lots of litter, but it made interesting photos, so it's not all bad!

Muy buena serie de denuncia sobre la contaminación. lo interesante es ver como pudiste lograr fotos estéticamente buenas a partir de basura. Eso denota que hay sensibilidad tras la cámara.
¿en donde las tomaste?

Bob- I wonder the same thing.

Danne- Wilkommen y Saludos.

Barista brat- I've added a link just for you under the other pictures so you can see the tracks. Don't you feel special? =)

Goncolo- Tomé estas fotos cerca de la vía férrea. Gracias por tu visita a mi blog.

the way you've aptly and creatively described the litter makes it not so litterful but more curious subjects of interest - I just found ONE side of a pair of slippers that was left to litter and it just so happens to be the same left side that I needed for my damaged pair - what did I do - recycle of course! I took it home haha
It was brand spankin new!
