Coca-Cola & Curves

The bountiful source that provides TOoT with a considerable amount of its image content continues to do so today as another familiarly-branded example of aluminium can ‘roadkill’ was to be found upon a section of the local ‘double black lines’.
In keeping with recent developments, the lines themselves deviate from the true horizontal by describing something of a curve (appropriately perhaps, in relation to the loops described by the brand name upon the surface of the can), as they approach a junction in the road where they encounter further road markings in the form of broken white lines which cut diagonally across the upper left hand corner of the photographic picture plane, disrupting the otherwise subtly-modulated tones & hues of the overall grey monochrome of the surface.
As is usually the case, some form of visual evidence may be traced of the history of the physical constitution of the painted lines, two layers of corrective black over the original yellow, to add a little narrative element to proceedings.
