Great title.. funny. I like the sense of business without even seeing anyone. Cool looking muted colors as well.
Posted by Abe at December 27, 2005 02:14 AMA very recurring theme in your photos lately. Very good photolog, but lately quite redundant.
Posted by Anantha at December 27, 2005 03:37 AMgreat shot. i like the cut of trees head.
Posted by Pooriya at December 27, 2005 04:44 AMReally a lovable shot, by-the-way, let me say, as usually for you. Many compliments
Posted by Roberto at December 27, 2005 05:52 AMThis is a beautiful "chaotic" composition. Chaotic because of all the junk. How can people do this? The white of the snow creates the perfect balance for this shot.
Posted by nuno f at December 27, 2005 08:34 AMi like the mixture of soft colors.
Posted by Jesse at December 27, 2005 08:41 AMI've seen this scene before in Tennessee. :)~
Posted by Chris at December 27, 2005 11:20 AMSam! How you find these places - wow. I suppose this is the same spot with the rotting trailer.
Some day someone will have to clean it up. Uh!
Nice tree!
I wonder if the leachate from the junk is good for the tree?
Posted by Hugh Petrie at December 27, 2005 01:35 PMhmmm what to say about this image... I really don´t like it, for the first time in this blog... the oversaturated pickup truck, the undersaturated gas tank, I don´t know what you did to this image, but it looks like a bad exercise in photoshop. Even the composition is not so great.. too much clutter for my taste. And the effort to keep the snow from blowing out makes the sky look a little dull. Just my opinion. Who am I to question the genious of Sam.
Happy Holidays
surreal.
Posted by jenn see at December 27, 2005 03:57 PMThis wonderful tree has borne and dropped a rather strange and sad bunch of fruit!
Posted by Peter at December 27, 2005 07:01 PMContrast is very effective in this shot, perhaps moreso than if there were no snow on the ground. It makes the junk assault the mind that much more forcefully.
The public health authorities somewhere north of Toronto need to get on this property owner's case, IMHO.
Posted by Erik at December 27, 2005 08:38 PMtoo much clutter. My eyes hurt
Posted by adam at December 27, 2005 09:58 PMjust discovered your blog while searching for pictures of toronto. you capture the city beautifully.
Posted by catherine at December 28, 2005 12:34 AMnot one of your better compositions. Not for me
Posted by roadwarrior58 at December 28, 2005 12:47 AMhmm...........you seem to be.........busy, lately. Is that right?
Posted by Payam at December 28, 2005 09:22 AMNo, no, it's our exopectations of this site. An extra-ordinary picture doesn't look as good as normal extra-extra-extra-ordinary pictures of your site. Carry on the wonderful job Sam.
