I Have No Idea...


On the way to Boston, we stopped at a McDonalds for ice cream cones. I saw these planters, and they got my attention, for some reason, but I didn't stop to shoot them. Got my ice cream cone, and went back to the car, and then got the camera. Something about these things held me. They are painted these bright colors, I believe, less for advertising purposes, but as a method of marking the parking lanes. But there is something that feels just a bit looney to have the bright colors on a structure that contains a tree. I still don't know why it is that these things seem weird. You can all decide, and tell me!

  5. ken, looks like you have fans in Chicago. Question is if all the responses were positive would they still send a shot across the bow ? Next time stand off the property and use a long distance lens ha ha,
