Picture Perfect - Urban Decay

 

This week’s theme as well as competition within Picture Perfect is Urban Decay.

Now here is one that I have only one time did I see something and had a camera at hand. However I don't have many pictures that are about the decay of society coupled with the fact that there are bylaws that are enforced here very stringently. However here is another from Montreal.  Yet it could be any city of country within this industrialized world.

After a nights end there was some area that there was debris left all over. Bylaws are enforced pending the status of the government or the city and what they set up. As far as buildings some cities have it where a buildings can’t be left, the fact remains that there will always be decay. Although Canada is a rather clean country with most provinces and municipalities having very stringent bylaws and law enforcement that makes this rather difficult – unless one does wish to go looking for something that could be trouble within the decay of society. So this is my picture for Urban Decay, it's the trash that is left on the streets after a night and it's rather shocking to see how much is thrown out as it is a composed of left over food, bottles of all food and all types of alcohol beverages. Meanwhile there are people living on the top of confectioneries, restaurants, and they just literally get by from day to the next - it happens within each and every city (urban).

That to me is the decay of our society as we never take notice that there are people that for several reasons would do anything to have a good meal, meanwhile what wastage there on the streets. Urban decay has two sides to it. Those that are within poverty and those that are taking subways into town and thereafter enjoying a meal that easily goes from $50.00 dollars and with some it winds up being $300.00 dollars easily. Meanwhile others are trying to make ends meet. I would never take a picture of someone that is homeless. I don't think it's an ethical area within this theme called, Urban Decay. There are some ethical questions within this theme. Certainly so...

This is mine and we often look at what we have but we never take into regard the waste and what others don't have regardless of why or what the case may be.

We just walk on by...
