The Abandoned Bicycle by Wilfried ClausThe Abandoned Bicycle by Wilfried Claus
The concrete-dominated, unadorned railway underpass is part of the station in Pulheim, a medium-sized town west of Cologne. The numerous mounted bike racks are hardly used despite the morning rush hour, obviously because the atmosphere here is quite uncomfortable and parking the bikes in this remote place is hardly theft-proof. A planning mistake on the part of the city? The individual bicycle makes the abandonment of the place clear.

While wandering and exploring the market in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, I came across a young woman selling balloons. Her captivating smile instantly caught my attention, and I couldn't resist buying one of her balloons. We chatted for a bit, and in the end, I couldn't resist capturing a photograph of her.
Laughing Clowns by Leanne LindsayLaughing Clowns by Leanne Lindsay
I have had a fear of clowns from when I was a small child. It's not just a fear, it's a phobia. To try to get over this phobia, whenever I am in Sydney, I try to go to Luna Park and photograph clowns at every opportunity. These ones were a safe option, as they weren't actually 'real' clowns, but I don't think it's helping. In fact, I think they're just laughing at me.
