If the Can Fits...

As has become quite a regular occurrence, a Sunday morning stroll presented an encounter with more 'roadkill' along a stretch of road marked with the local phenomenon of the 'double black lines', found just so & thus pictorially framed for reference purposes.

In the first particular instance, one might note a scene that appears very much as though the object has been subject to a process of two-way compression - downwards, compactly folded, flat onto the road surface, as is habitual, but also seemingly squeezed between the two parallel lines of the painted road markings, being held perfectly, exactly, within the intervening space, as though clamped, held captive, for just the very purpose of being photographed, which opportunity of course proved irresistible...



One really couldn't arrange such a composition more...'fittingly'.

Then, a matter of mere yards further 'downtown' (in fact, but the other side of the revealed patch of originally-marked yellow paint as featured in proximity to the 'Strongbow'-branded flattened can as found & photographically pictorialized last Friday, to establish bearings), the discovery of another suitably flattened object, very much in keeping with the nature of the road surface & its applied markings, positioned at an appropriate angle to the horizontality of such to add a certain dynamism to the composition, again presenting quite a 'readymade' picture requiring but a simple framing.
