My friends. You probably thought I was joking when I said I’d turn my recent afternoon ramble into a photo essay. But that would be a wasted opportunity. It’s not every day you find the place in your city where shopping carts lay to rest.
Birkley and I were out for a walk when we stumbled on a little ravine in Capilano. That in itself was a surprise — I had no idea we were seeing just the tops of trees behind the skate park on 98 Ave. It’s a cute spot to explore on it’s own. A path in the snow led us to the bottom, but there are no paths other than that; be prepared for some mild trekking.
A short distance into the ravine you’ll start to see lonely shopping carts.
Unmistakably a Wal-Mart cart. I don’t like it there either. But so sad!
Over half a dozen of these poor guys. Why do they all end up in this same area?
And here: the rare and elusive red cart.
While I don’t feel the need to write a TripAdvisor review, this was a pretty amusing discovery. Here’s one more picture, which I took because it looked like these carts were waiting for the bus:
