Photohunt: Garbage


Can you guess what that picture is? It's cooked rice placed on the concrete pavement. Now that the cat did not eat all these morsels of cooked rice, they will be swept and thrown into the garbage. It makes me sad. Each morsel is equivalent to the joy of a little child suffering from hunger in poverty-stricken places here in the Philippines and all throughout the world.

What would be your take for Photohunt's challenge today, hunters?

  4. You make a very good point, that so much garbage could be a joy to others. We who have so much are so wasteful.

  7. Another way to look at the rice -- as taught to me by a Japanese restaurant owner friend: each grain of rice represents so many people's labor -- including the farmer and cook and everything in between. So waste not as much as one can!

  8. I thought at first it as hail stones, never would have guessed rice. Interesting shot, and a good example of pointless waste.
