Seek vibrancy London, ON November 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
So we look for whatever colours remain, wherever they may be. And when we come across them in the forlorn corners of a parking lot, bathed in harsh security lights that splatter themselves over the bare, cracked pavement, we take a few moments for a closer look - and maybe a spontaneous photo shoot - before real life summons us back.
This particular example is a vibrant pink-painted shipping container that’s been repurposed as a beloved neighbourhood ice cream shop. They make a mean cherry milkshake, by the way.
Sadly, Canadians don’t make milkshakes in winter, cherry or otherwise, so the brilliant pink container stands empty and locked, ignored amid the biting winds and drifting flurries.
And as we count the days until life returns here, we stand and take in the welcome shot of colour and shape and texture, itself a reminder that hope can be found in the most surprising corners of the everyday.
