Thunder Bay – Thursday

Morning trash in context.  Smokers are the worst when it comes to tossing trash.  Nobody else is even close.

Discarded food item. Looked like an assortment of buns.   Things can’t be THAT bad in Thunder Bay when people toss perfectly edible food out on the streets.

Not expecting much this morning. Still, it looks a lot like yesterday morning and that turned out pretty OK. Not National Geographic stuff but it did make getting out of bed this early not seem like a waste of time.

Some colour is showing up. Not a lot but sime.

It always pays to look behind you at sunrise.  Sometimes the sky behind you is more colourful than the one in front.

Looks like this might be today’s peak.

The sun does show up…sort of.

The sun is there but behind a thin layer of clouds

A snow angle.  Could have done better with the wings. Extend that arm motion to increase the wing size.

As always, the Water Street fire hall manages to find a way to block the sidewalk.  The parking lot was cleared of snow.  Pedestrians in this city have a hard time. Almost all parking lot clearing operations leave big windrows of snow across sidewalks.  The plow jockeys do not care at all.

If they had to get out of their trucks and clear the sidewalk with a shovel, I am sure that they would take more care in where they push that snow.

A giant ring toss game.

Trash in context. Even the trash had a hard time with all of the snow.

Close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades.  The person could have picked up the can and placed in the trash can.  Notice that this can is not being recycled?   I do not think that much if any of the material placed in city trash cans INCLUDING the parks gets recycled.  I suspect, with good reason, that even the stuff placed in the cans marked ‘recycle’ ends up in the landfill site.
