Unless those are EMPTY kegs, empty kegs = bleak.

It's bleak becuase they're all empty and you didn't get any.

That's a great shot striv. I dig the rust stains over the sign on the left.

I'm glad you like the beer keg shot - it took forever to get them all lined up like that.

In some ways, this is the bleakest of my pics though:

As you can probably tell, this was someone's bed for the night. The likely owner was sitting in a doorway a few metres away. A portrait of him would have been truly bleak, but I wasn't keen on asking.

[My son pointed out that I'd managed to photograph my own shadow. Doubleplusungood.

]

Striv, I love the textures in "Unclaimed".

But pigeons? *Shudder*

I like pigeons! You have to admire any animal that can survive entirely on spare bread!

A statue of a woman made out of bread is proving popular with pigeons in a park in Santiago.

Yes; judging by the relative calm of the news lately, I assume we have all our white women accounted for.
