12th - Agriculture?

near Norton Lindsey, Warks. view map

Another bit of discarded convenience, this time in a field near Snitterfield in Warwickshire - I don't know if this would do any damage to the farmer's machinery, I suspect not since the can is made of relatively light-weight metal and Mr. Farmer's gear must be pretty robust to do all that ploughing and stuff...

...doesn't excuse the numbskull action though...

I always believed that Coke cans grow in the fields...:-)))

great catch, great image

So annoying when people clean out their cars and don't care where they leave it. Great in mono Doug.

Too regular an occurance these days. Great processing.

Sad, some people will never learn!!

LOL at Phillip's comment! ;-)

Cool b&w image, the can seems to blend in, yet it doesn't. Good one for juxtaposition.

Sad!

Wow, didn't know they grew Coca Cola in a field! hehe....I can't believe that people just toss this stuff out on the road.

Bill Reed		13-Mar-2010 01:13
Great image and a wonderful commentary on idiots that toss litter. Well done.

Kevin Chester		13-Mar-2010 00:20
I love what you have done with the processing , it really makes it stand out

Kevin Chester		13-Mar-2010 00:19
I wonder if we will ever have any lasting historical record of the drinks can, they seem so flimsy.

J. Scott Coile		12-Mar-2010 23:43
Is that where they come from ;-)

LynnH		12-Mar-2010 21:51
So... did you throw the can there for a photo op? LOL. Just kidding. But seriously, I hate to see trash loose like this. Shameful!

Phillip Normanton		12-Mar-2010 21:41
I wonder what the farmers plough could do to the peeps that dropped it... sounds like a good experiment! :o)

Ann...		12-Mar-2010 21:23
I'm sure it takes far less effort to put it in a bin than throw it over a hedge!
