Sunrise

I spotted a row of brightly painted garbage bins outside a primary school in Sydney – this was my favorite in the line up. The kids had painted the bins with their own designs … they are all peeling and a bit knocked around, but some of the designs are really great. The paintings all have a wonderfully joyful sense to them, full of color and life. I nearly got run over crouching down in the road taking this photo. Sold 8×12 print to friends for their first child’s bedroom

    I love the way the paint is peeling away – creates a wonderful sense of fragility and time. Well worth getting nearly run over for this gem.

    Thanks Geoff. Amazing how you can improve a plain old trash bin and make it a work of art for someone to photograph!!

    wow, what an amazing shot – there’s beauty everywhere, don’t you think? This would have been a great shot for Bubble Jeopardy – sorry if you already know of this group :D

    Thanks, and yes I could have put it into Jeopardy if I had thought of it! I doubt anyone would have guessed it was a garbage bin!!

    Thanks again Wayne for your kind comments. Photography has taught me to “open my eyes” I must say!
