wishful thinking by

Life can be pretty black and white sometimes……

This was shot many years ago in the grimy inner city suburb of Newtown while waiting for a train at St Peters Station…… the inner city can be a fairly fraught place to be in sometimes so CityRail kindly placed a lovely billboard of a rainforest ajacent to the platform to sooth the harried traveller…… it advertises nothing but a little bit of wishful thinking and dream beliving…….. and I’m all for that……..:)

    What a cool idea!!

    Not a bad shot, too………….

  • thanks Roy barry….. don’t look to closely it’s fairly cruddy shot technically but I think I was laughing at the preposterous cheek of Cityrail’s thinking while I was taking the shot…..you know….lets not waste money cleaning the trains or making them run on time….. we’ll just distract the peasants with a nice billboard…… made me laugh so I guess it worked…….:)

    I love the use of colour in the midst of the black and white… and you did a great job reading the minds of everyone in this street!

  • thanks Carmen….. you have to be able to distract yourself in a big city or you go mad…. glad you like this…..:)
