It's a shame to see garbage in their majority are not biodegradable
and require a lot of time to be assimilated ..!

Sometimes now I find myself picking up the litter and taking it to the nearest garbage can. Since this was a cemetery (and big), I removed the can and drove it to the nearest garbage can.

Surreal with good detail. And part of the value of the surreality is that it contrasts with the ibvious reality of the scene. The sepia was a good choice, too. I suspect it would be less striking in colour.

Where's the poison, in the mushroom or in the can? Sorry to see trash impacting such a serene place, but a great shot.

Is it a real picture, Willam ?! The mushroom was a giant one !!!
10 years ago.
William Sutherland club has replied to Christiane ♥.•*¨`*•✿
It's a real picture. There were some huge mushrooms!

I've included a few more views:



Left: Mushroom with crushed can with inclusion of a neighboring mushroom that is of a more typical size; Right: Mushroom after the can was removed. As you can see it contained water and even a leaf that was dwarfed by its size.

o0o I have never seen mushrooms like this before,
and sadly if this practice of using them for rubbish
is continued I fear no one will see them in the future,
I cannot cannot for the life of me understand why
this is done ... I just cannot ... what must their homes
be like ! oOo
