Nina from Hamburg, Germany
So pink.. a bit color makes the picture effective warmer. A brief look out of my window tells me... I need the balloons! :)
5 Nov 2008 6:45am
@Nina: Pink Ballons for Nina, If I had known, I would have named this photo: PINK BALLOONS OF NINA lol

Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Nice composition there! Although... I think there's something wrong with the photo, just that I can't put my finger on it.... XD

@Koushiro~光子郎: Hey Koushiro, it might be the pink screen that bothers you unconsciously lol your eyes are tired form studying...hope it's going super well!
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
You are already missing the summer, aren't you?
5 Nov 2008 10:28am
@António Pires: Did the Pink give it away? :) Thanks a lot Antonio !
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
It looks like they are liquidating the building too! :0)
5 Nov 2008 11:56am
@Craig: Wouldn't that be something....lol I like the way you think Craig
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Certainly gets a message across, love the composition and colour in this one Lorraine :)
5 Nov 2008 12:15pm
@MaryB: Thanks so much Mary, glad you enjoyed it!
@magiceye: because of the pink? or the snow? wait let me go see your other comment :)
@magiceye: hopefully not, wonder why they call it pink? slips, it's very feminine pink and slip...
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Definitely pink. What was being liquidated?
5 Nov 2008 1:13pm
@Viewfinder: Good question...I should have stopped...can't be liquor store, although wouldn't that be a kick in the...;)

Too much pink for my liking, but mainly cos I'm a boy!

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Promise big bargoons, Lorraine. I like the composition.
5 Nov 2008 4:30pm
@Michael Skorulski: Did you just create a combo word? that's awesome, thanks a lot ;)
Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States
Great caption, again! My eye was naturally drawn to all that snow piled up in the background. Yes, I do believe I'd get weary of snow, after a while, but I miss it! :)
5 Nov 2008 4:37pm
@Bookfool: Well I promise you snow here, I never go back on my word lol thanks a lot!
Janice Thomson from Canada
What a fantastic eye for capturing the unexpected and unusual. The incongruity of pink balloons and construction, and 'last days' is excellent - love this!
5 Nov 2008 4:42pm
@Janice Thomson: And you are brilliant and have such good eyes lol Thanks very much my dear friend :)
@Reza: Really have no idea, I was driving by ;) Thanks Reza!
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Good title. That pink would attract anyone's attention. They look like they are under construction. Another great street shot Lorraine.
5 Nov 2008 6:21pm
@Marion: Thanks a lot Marion, I'm not sure of the situation, I will to investigate, sneakily, the way I usually do, I walk softly, come upon the site, then say Hey, what are you doing there? lol
@Calusarus: thanks Frederic :)
@jamesy: Thanks a lot Debbie :)
@Eleftheria!: Thanks a lot Eleftheria :)
Jasp from Plymouth, United Kingdom
Somehow having balloons seems to be inappropriate for a liquidation sale. Like the picture, feel like I am there...pick up any bargains ?
5 Nov 2008 8:08pm
@Jasp: I know it's strange, nope...last I've seen it was a fish place, don't think I'd want anything left...;) lol
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Hot pink is definitely eye-catching ... and liquidation is certainly the sign of our times. So many businesses are going under. ... ;(
5 Nov 2008 9:13pm
@Judy: Seems to be, which is a shame, although If I recall correctly this was a fish place...mmmcan't imagine the left-overs ;)
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun :)
MJ from Delaware, United States
bargains in the pink....or you will be in the pink if you shop here
5 Nov 2008 10:42pm
@MJ: Good interpretation Mj, could work either way ;) thanks a lot!
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Jolie composition et couleurs. Belles diagonales formees par les ballons-panneau et feuillage-base du tronc.
5 Nov 2008 11:28pm
@akarui: Merci beaucoup Olivier, c'est gentil :)
vu@granby Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, Canada
J'ai bien vu le rose mais j'ai aussi remarqué que tu avais de la neige blanche en liquidation.
6 Nov 2008 1:03am
@vu@granby Gilles Martineau: lol bon oeil, celle-là est gratuite, parcqu'elle est un peu sale ;)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
I too wonder why pink, but a very nice capture so many things to see and such natural colors
6 Nov 2008 1:33am
@JJ: Thanks a lot JJ, pink will forever remain mysterious, 'cause I have no idea lol
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Pink, maybe that's the only paper they had, or its baby stuff, snow behind the grass could be snow shovels for sale. That covers the whole gamut.
6 Nov 2008 1:51am
@JoeB: You cover very well Joe lol I wish I knew why the pink? But I plead the 5th ;)
