Red can

Here in southern Andalucia, the current economic problems hitting Spain have been particularly acute with nearly 30% unemployment in the Cadiz province. As well as Cadiz itself, working-class towns like Chiclana and Puert Real seem very down-at-heel at the moment.
A recent visit to the nearby town of Puerto Real with the local photographic group was rather depressing, although we were frequently stopped by proud inhabitants urging us to photograph this church or that monument. Rather than the inside of one of the churches, this red Cruzcampo beer can caught my eye. It had been placed outside a church and I liked the juxtaposition and the texture of the stone.
What a great picture, it's innovative and attractive with the colour accent, textures & bold shapes!
ReplyDeleteSad to hear about the high unemployment rates, it's a real worry here in North East England too. I have started collecting shots of boarded up shops for historical purposes. They don't seem so interesting now, but they may be in the future.
