New Romney's local supermarket has provided a wall for artists to hang their portraits of local residents. The trolley had been abandoned, I made photographic use of it before I used it for more conventional purposes.
My apologies to Adam, who voted on the previous image - I noticed something that I want to work on further...
Concerning the mystery of my Japanese landscape – it's one of the old shipping containers used now for storage on Dungeness Beach. (Where else? I've said before, this really is a very strange place...)
I added further details in a comment to the upload.
Thanks for looking,
Moira

I wonder how long before somebody on the wall has a moustache added? At least the trolley was abandoned at the SM and not in the local river.

Saw this and said Moira, not on the wall but her work her great eye, well spotted good work.
John
Thanks guys - Tony these have been in place for well over a year, Bill photographed them in 2011. From memory, there's a bit of overhanging roof above them which must give some protection.
Moira
Just done a bit of Googling, the story is here. There's no overhanging roof to protect the paintings so they are wearing extremely well!

Albert I thought long and hard about the composition, and tried various options. Including the full portraits left and right meant including other clutter, and reducing the importance of the trolley. This worked best for me.
Moira
well wouldnt have thought that was what it was ... seemed almost see through
What wonderful portraits! The inclusion of the trolley gives a clue as to where they are, without it they could be anywhere

It is still a mystery to me Moira as to how you steer these shopping trolleys on a straight course.
I am sure it would be easier for me to steer a super tanker into Leith Docks !!
Nice to see your local residents on the wall here.
I am used to seeing my local residents on the wall too,
but with an addition of the reward money the police will give for them !!

What a great idea to brighten up an otherwise dull brick wall. Do you know if they are any old Tom, **** or Doris, or are they local heroes of one sort or another?
If I remember correctly from my UK years, that trolley colour says Sainsbury???

This is indeed Sainsbury, Malc - link included in a comment above.
Thanks everyone, I'm off to watch some more cycling.

V2 is a very nice comp' Moira, but V1 sparks the imagination as to what where and why .
John
Good colourful sharp picture well presented (colorful! Now have I spelt that correctly) the American spelling keeps popping up, made me think 
am I right or am I wrong
Thanks everyone - and Ann, I loathe American Spellcheck, I can't change it or switch it off and it keeps confusing me. Found out yesterday that it gets practice and practise the wrong way round...
Moira
Many thanks to Dave for his award - and to everyone who has clicked and commented here!

Living local I often visit this supermarket and have watched this excellent collection of people portraits displayed on this supermarket’s wall grow in numbers since the project first began. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve stood in the car park with two bags of shopping thinking to myself - there must be a shot to be captured here. Well spotted and done, no hesitation placing my weekly award here. Love it.
Dave.
A very unusual sight indeed, I wonder if Pete has a rogues gallery of epzers' on his garden wall at home! lol
