I’m not going to claim that this is a good photo from any compositional point of view, but it’s kinda interesting because of its subject. A relatively ordinary Ford Ka in a car-park, but I do wonder what the story is behind all those parking tickets?
By my count there are eleven of them. I’m not sure how frequently a ticket is added, or if there is some sort of escalation procedure that occurs when it becomes clear that no-one is seemingly coming to collect the car. What does the traffic warden / car park attendant think when they stick yet another notice to the growing set already there?
Is the car stolen perhaps? But if that’s the case, would it have been carefully parked in a public place upon abandonment? Maybe the owner is indisposed in some way and unable to reclaim their vehicle, or perhaps even alert someone to its location?
I wonder if it’s still there?
