I've made it up to 500 images! I've now decided to drop 'Daroru' and go with 'Daryl'. Because that's my name.

i really like this effect. the bike looks new yet the garbage growing on the bicycle indicates it's not as new as it would seem. very nice

@olubolu: Thanks olubolu.
i love these kinds of shots-- dead, dormant or abandoned bicycles just waiting for their owner to return... great in b&w.

@timothy sullivan: Than you timothy.
Untouched by human hands for three years...Then the drunk foreigner comes along one morn after a bender on the shu-hi and atsukan, takes it for a quick spin and gets arrested the following morning for theft and conspiring to bring the chi into disrepute. Well, the second part's going to be tough to prove but the first part's a given (or 'gibbon' if you're in certain regions of Africa).

@Bender Bending Rodriguez: Hmm... something you want to get off your chest BBR?!
Is BBR confessing? Gotta love them Aussies. Maybe the owner carefully places these plants into position after each use to disguise his usage?

@Twelvebit: Same approach taken by Bruce Wayne with the Batcave. Not quite as effective here...

@filipe franco: Thanks filipe!
But.....this "detritus" makes a very good, creative shot! The tonality contributes greatly!
