Hazy morning at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary

Photo from June 2013 after the flood that overcame a lot of Chinatown. Fits this week’s challenge. This is from a photobook I had made called Colour Photos that Look Black and White. Empty lot at Riverfront Avenue and 1st St SE.
ISO 400, 80 mm, f/8, 1/200
Realy like the ghostly quality of the chain links covered in mud. The cracks in the mud add to the mood.
Empty Calgary Food Bank crates waiting for pickup at Forest Lawn Community Hall. I am guessing this is the source for some of the food for lunch program provided to kids from the schools across the road.

The red crate really pops. Nicely located in the 1/3 intersection.
I like the contrast of the graffiti against the more or less uniform lush green foliage. The early morning sun adds to the mood.
