Ups and downs

I had my ups and downs, the concrete of the cities and the rural expanse, I wanted to be a bird, but forced to move around the earth, I like to smell the flowers, but forced to smell the slops, I like silence in the sleeping area of ​​the city, but I hear the rattle of metal and the rumble of tractor engines, I am what I have become, but I am cultivating and striving to where I can enjoy the clear sky above my head.

Perhaps this is how alternative Volvo advertising would sound if it were shot in the next block from me, a sleeping area where it is difficult to see the sky obscured by multi-storey concrete.

In the morning, I left the house and the first thing I heard was the singing of blackbirds. I wanted to find them and went to the side where this singing came from.

I walked about a hundred meters and, the birds singing was drowned out by the sounds of diesel engines, metal blows on metal, screams, abuse and many other extraneous noises.

I went to these sounds and saw such a picture, near the garbage chute, one of the houses, there were three tractors.

Two tractors with trailers full of slop and a tractor loader.

Several people ran around with shovels.

They threw garbage into the loader bucket; he, from there fell out, the team leader yelled at them.

This happened constantly while I stood and watched.

Apparently, the garbage truck broke down, and they decided to replace it in this way, but, it all looked both sad and funny.

Here, one character was missing, Charlie Chaplin, could make a film based on this plot and get an Oscar.

Around was a stench of garbage, I did not linger too much, but, having walked forward a bit, I turned around and saw that two tractors stood parallel to each other, like two Volvo cars in the famous advertisement.

If there is an alternative, or the exact opposite of Volvo cars, then you see it in these photographs, this tractor and this noisy and inept team of communal workers in a residential area of ​​the city.

I wanted to make a little joke, and take this opportunity.

As a result of this, you see a photo collage.

Photos taken with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 camera
I edited a photo in the program Photo-Director, which I also installed on my smartphone.
