How spacious your suburbia is. Sunbathing traffic cones, a trolley out for a stroll. I like it.

Thanks, JeanThe Ontario cities outside Toronto are remarkably spacious -- wide streets, houses more than 50 cm apart, etc. The population density here is about a fifth of Toronto's.

Excellent shot!

Thanks, William.

This is a footnote to Jean's comment above, but yes, this is almost frontier town suburbia - wide, empty streets, large front lawns, and virtually nobody to be seen.

The touches of orange are not accidental - something drew you to taking this picture, after all. And the traffic cones may be sunbathing, but to me, they have simply given up, feeling unneeded and unwanted.

The shopping cart disappoints me, though, It looks like it wandered in from another picture - though on closer look, these may be multi-family dwellings, and that would explain it, no?

phantastische Interpretation!! :-)

I thought of the red mailbox as the opening allegro, Bob, then the cone as the slow movement, the cart as the scherzo, and the sign as the finish.

Both the cone and the cart I took as abandoned items. They are stranded, awaiting a return to productive use.

I agree.

Beautifully captured.
HFF and a nice weekend.

Thanks, Jaap, and the same to you.

it's a well done "long view" ! have a great WE!!

Thanks, Gabi, and the same to you.

Nice long and wide view, good to see a shopping trolley out on it's own,

HFF and a lovely weekend

Thanks, Roger, and the same to you. I hadnèt thought about this, but yes, the trolley has escaped its human masters.

E um carrinho de supermercado abandonado que acrescenta ao sentimento de desolação... HFF John

This city sprawls so much, Xata, that everybody drives everywhere. You can go out for a walk and not meet anyone on the sidewalk. I suppose with modern technology weèll probably end up never going outside, anyway.

This place looks as if it's suddenly been abandoned..............and people have just dropped what they were doing, got in their cars and left. Very mysterious..!!

Very nicely composed John............and full of detail. like the splashes of orange colour, they draw the eye nicely and the trees are really lovely.

Well worth viewing large..!!

Thanks, Keith. As I mentioned to Xata, this city sprawls so much that everybody drives everywhere. London opted for sprawl back when gas was cheap, but doesn't seem to have noticed that gas isn't 30 cents a gallon any more.

Ich hätte diese Szene nie abgelichtet.
Erst die guten Kommentare haben mir die Augen geöffnet.
HFF!

Thanks, Ernst. That's one of the characteristics of photo-sharing sites that appeals to me. I have often learned from comments things that I didn't quite ubderstand when I took a photo.

...wo das Leben aufgehört hat, prickelnd zu sein...
Ich mag das Bild in Groß John....es zieht einen förmlich mit in die Szene!
HFF...und alles Gute für 2020 :)

Thanks, Tanja, and the same to you.

HFF to you!

Thanks, Esther.

It appears you've come to my side of photography paradise. Wheee! (Love this one, by the way.)

Thanks, Diane. This approach seems more suited to my new home.

I completely understand!

Well captured John and I enjoyed the link very much. HFF and have a good weekend and a Happy New Year to you

Thanks, Carol.

Der Einkaufswagen ist der i-Tupf. :-)

An interesting way of looking at it, AD AD.

A very well put together entry to 'Sight and Sound', John. A good one by The Supremes. Great video too :-)

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Nice slice-o-suburbia, even complete with obligatory abandoned shopping trolley and traffic cone

Thanks, Stoker. This is quite a change from midtown Toronto. There are more stores within two blocks of my old place in Toronto than there are within a mile of where I am now.

Much quieter than downtown, with a typical cart for homeless people.
