Photographer's Note
A detail out of the well (over) organized daily life in my hometown Bergen op Zoom in Holland.
We have a plastic container on wheels. (3 grey things)The household waste is weekly collected, one week vegetables etc. which can be composted in a green container the other week the rest.
It is now completely automated. You have to put the container on a mark in the site walk with a distance in between. A truck comes and picks up the container by robot arm to empty and puts it back on the site walk.
For empty botles there are the Pac Mans.

Original idea! I like the composition. What makes the picture good is the different patterns. You have the crossed tiles on top the straight lines of the wastebins and the changing straight pattern of the tiles in front. Well seen and thanks for posting.

I do – very much. Very original, simple and beautiful shot of quite ugly subjects. I like the interesting rhytm – and the change of it – of the tiles. One side of a container without white label – and the white text in the tile adre great details that make this shot really work.
Very-very well seen and captured, Hendrik.

Well done for seeing something different. Interesting patterns of squares and rectangles, quite geometric. Seeing art in the everyday..

Nice line up and the little differences make the picture such as lost label on the forth one and the excess hanging out of the first. The graphics of the two different ways of making a surface out of rectangular elements also contributes a lot to the good result.

I have just browsed your pf, you hvae soem original ideas. This particularly took my eye, first a good TE daily life shot, second well composed and third the geometrics of the shot.
PS I also like your dutch bike theme, I may add to it, if your dont mind.
