Out the Door L
Cart Cabin
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 21 January 2009 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.
@jamesy: The question of the day apparently, well it's a place that has a metal roof and sidings and where customers of Loblaw's (Grocery Store) put back (or should) their carts once they're done putting their bags in the car. I thought it looked pretty through the side opening. Thanks a lot Debbie, now you know I'm going to refer every one to my response to you ;) LOL
@Alun Lambert: Yes and yes, thanks Alun :)

ok,the cart cabin doesnt exactly look like somewhere I would want to be,though of course i would have preferred it to the cold outside at all times!:)

visiblement c'est un endroit où on attend, devant on dirait une patinoire, photo enigme ! et toujours cette belle neige au loin

@kerfendal: lol pas tout à fait, j'allais te dire : va voir ma réponse au premier commentaire, mais je devrais l'expliquer en français aussi donc voici, c'est un endroit avec toit et côté métallique ou les clients de Loblaws (épiceries) peuvent déposer leur panier (ou pas) après avoir fini de mettre les sacs dans l'auto. J'aimais la parallèle et le décor entre le métal ;) merci beaucoup Max!

Kathy from Indianapolis, United States
ok...let me guess! It's a cabin for carts, right? Now I have to figure out what a cart might be in Canada! Too big for grocery carts? And my Canadian son-in-law is offline! Just when I need him. lol
21 Jan 2009 11:50am
@Kathy: Kathy, always follow your instincts sweetie lol we have small, medium and big carts...let all fit in ;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
An interesting pespective here, Lorraine. This cart cabin... is it a place for shopping carts? Or what is it exactly? :)
21 Jan 2009 12:16pm
@Nina: It's exactly that sweet Nina, for a full explanation (if you care lol) read my response to my first visitor's comment ;)
Kathy from Indianapolis, United States
The son-in-law says it is an enclosure for buggies that were alongside buildings like churches. Is that right?
21 Jan 2009 12:27pm
@Kathy: Buggies? oh my Canadian son-in-law is a little, a lot cold lol But wow I love the way he thinks...It's a place for shopping carts ;) (for longer explanation, see my response to first comment)

This just looks "icy" cold. Can't escape it this time of year, I suppose. Florida beckons; Bella sends a tropical doggie tail wag.
21 Jan 2009 12:48pm
@Viewfinder: Nothing compares to the the cold now, Florida Beckons Loudly, and kiss to Bella ;)

I googled cart cabin..and you popped up..!! Your famous girl !! (Go on try it)...Didn't learn anything about cart cabins though. ;>))
21 Jan 2009 1:19pm
@Jeff: I did, couldn't believe it...geesh...I just I had to call it something...See my response to your son lol thanks a lot Jeff ;)
MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
Is that a cool comp the way the roof and rail line trail upwards to the right? I like it.
21 Jan 2009 2:04pm
@MontereyJohn: What? lol thanks a lot John, see my response to Debbie (first comment) for explanation ;)
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Hmmm Cart cabin? I guess something to store shopping carts?
I like this perspective. We have a sense of being protected from the snow. Clever shot! Well done Lorraine.
21 Jan 2009 2:30pm
@Rui: Bingo! You win! lol thanks a lot Rui ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
We don't have those here Lorraine but we also don't get the winter's you do either so our carts are left everywhere in the parking lot or inside the store. Neat view of the park? How did you manage to find a time when there were no vehicles present? I too like the perspective in this shot.
21 Jan 2009 2:34pm
@Janice Thomson: You got it Hun...except it's easy to get empty parking lots, considering I'm always the first one outdoor (for groceries that is) ;)
Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France
je ne sais pas trop interpreter la photo, je vois la neige et les arbres, ce terrain un peu vague,un aspect deserté d'un village, une sortte d'angoisse plane..une atmosphère pesante.
21 Jan 2009 4:06pm
@Alivia: Elle est 'moody' ton histoire, j'aime beaucoup, Alivia, la mienne est beaucoup moins interessante...voir ma réponse au commentaire de Max (Kerfendal) :)
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States
OMG...now you're really making me cold. With the parking lot being empty I figure the smart people are at home by the fireplace. Of course, that never includes us dedicated photographers.;o)
21 Jan 2009 6:50pm
@Suzanne: Seriously though Suzanne, this dedication thing---beginning to get on my nerves, don't wanna I'm too cold lol thanks always :) remember, sunshine shot on yours, I need to warm up
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Hello, Lorraine, you have caused a lot of questions with the name and the framing :))
I don't know either what it is exactly, only that what the image says to me is the snow seen from a cabin in any public stablishment: the contrast between outdoors and indoors, the good lighting, etc.
A wide and sharp image, in any case.
Cheers!!

@Paco Díaz: Who'd have thought? I just had to put a title down LOL you'll find the explanation in my response to the first comment, merci beaucoup Paco :)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Way to put the cart before the horse, with no evidence of one it has confused some. The structure has framed the parking lot into a window view. Was this on your way back, you return carts and get your quarter back. I have to google cart cabin to make sure that its not some sort of fever suffered from winter in "The Great White North." The reactions are hilarious, its the smile of the day.
21 Jan 2009 7:23pm
@JoeB: That's funny Joe...Amazing hey? But i assure you, I don't pay for carts, must be an Ontario thing...weird! And I always bring my cart to the Cart Cabin (I had to name it something) I guess I could have called it storage, but that implies indoor...oh well ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
The roof and lower wall of the enclosure frames this scene nicely. I actually photoshopped a winter scene giving it the same frame you used naturally here.
Great perspective with a creative mind.
I say a cart cabin is just that a cabin for shopping carts.
Hug your cats and stay warm Lorraine. Tonight when it reaches 25 degrees (F) I will be hugging mine, well I think she hugs ME!
21 Jan 2009 7:38pm
@Barbara: Barb Barb Barb Barb Barb Barbara Ann...no wonder they named a song after you. You know things :) right on!!! 25 F? really now that's cold, isn't it? You live in Florida, that's not right, it shouldn't be cold..
@Calusarus: Merci beaucoup Frederic ;)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Brrrr..... cold, and it dosen't look too busy there today either. Hot chocolate Lorraine and sitting by the fire/radiator, beats a cart cabin anyday.
21 Jan 2009 11:35pm
@Observing: Very True, Mikey, but you have to buiy the hot chocolate at one point...;) lol
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Too cold for me...brrr! a nicely framed shot Lorraine.
22 Jan 2009 12:10am
@MaryB: Too cold for me too now, MaryB, I need lots of warmth, can you post some? thanks a lot!
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
IS this for grocery carts at a Sobey's? Not very many cars in the lot from where you stood.
22 Jan 2009 12:22am
@Judy: Nope darlin' they're grocery carts a a Loblaw's (Sobey's Canadian version?) can you post beach and hot things please, I'm freeezing ;)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
a cabin for the shopping carts? and re your comment, I do appreciate how lucky we are here and no reason to complain about our little bit of snow here
22 Jan 2009 1:26am
@JJ: Bingo, and JJ you can complain all you want, your photos are great...;)
amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Superstore? Sobey's? Save-ON? And of course no carts are in there... and that's typical, too. LOL!! Looks like it warming up a bit?
22 Jan 2009 4:40am
@amy: You're Canadian and you say Sobey's...what about Loblaw's? girl! really! you have Sobey's? Neat, I'd love to have a Sobey's...we're having a two day heat wave of lows of Minus 10...gonig back down to the MINUS 20/30s
@GJC: Only if you need food dear GJC ;)
