It's getting colder so the competition is on for the prime sidewalk

the charities distribute them. By spring they'll very filthy.
But now they're still brightly coloured and shiny:

I don't know how these guys survive winter. I guess some of them
don't.
Great shot, Frank. Somehow, the "Do not block intersection" sign
really contributes to the image (though part of me wishes it weren't
so close to the top of the frame; I'm guessing you shot this as a
horizontal and cropped to square - maybe cropping a bit more off the
bottom and left might help?) You're quite right to do it in color,
IMHO. Remember how "The Wizard of Oz" depicted Kansas in B&W nut
showed Oz in color, intending to contrast bleak reality with pretty
fantasy? Now we regard color as more realistic (rightly so, I think)
and B&W as more abstract.
I always thought the last part when Dorothy got back home to Kansas
should have been in color.
