    In the water I spotted a cart. Which had managed to not come apart. Just above flew a bird, With its timing absurd. Now who's to say what isn't art?

    There’s pretty much always commenters who say “what’s confusing about that?” And ngl. I kinda wonder how many of them just happen to see it right away and how many people just wanna look smart lol. Like, “how can you peons not see it? It’s so easy for me to get it!” Because I definitely think this fits the sub. One does not expect a shopping cart to be half frozen in the lake and the addition of the bird makes it look like a foggy sky.

    Although, I’ll concede that for at least some it may just be the way their brain is wired. I consider myself more creative and artistic (vs. practical and scientific) and so my brain tried to work out the story and context. Like others said, it looked like an ethereal dream sequence.

    I love this. At first I thought maybe it was a stage for a concert in the fog and the bird is nearby, but then I couldn’t figure out why the soft and hard contrast between the foreground and background for the structure. Then I realize it’s a cart in water lol

    At first I thought it was from the Hindenburg times. A failed plane or a photo of a broken building part with super I exposure.

    Then I noticed the bird was a reflection, and it was a shopping cart in water. My reality broke.

    There’s actually a book called “Stray Grocery Carts of North America”

    parent
    1 points Suspicious-Area-3341

    Also: Abandoned Shopping Carts: Personal and Spiritual Responsibility By William Bezanson

    Not quite sure what it’s about. I didn’t look at the blurb.

    Never mind… “This book is an appeal to think clearly for yourself in order to regain a sense of responsibility for taking care of humanity and the world; and it offers a set of suggestions for doing so. The book uses the theme of abandoned shopping carts as a graphic symbol of uncaring relinquishment of responsibility in many areas of life, such as littering, driving rudely, and not voting in elections. “

    So initially the bird made me think it was an old aerial photo of a bombed city or something. Yes it's a submerged shopping trolley, on its side. The bird is a reflection on the surface of the water.

    Not my photo but that's what I see.

    What about the title, spelling error aside, suggests this is my own content? "Found on..."?
