Thrown Away
Heading back from a fairly unproductive lunchtime (tomorrow's market day in the city centre so it has to be better (unless it rains (which it probably will))) I glanced at a bench as I passed it by and saw a baby's blanket left at one end; I could only assume that the baby in question had grown weary of its comfort and sought the adventure of a rough, tough, blanketless life while its guardian wasn't looking.
This evening I opened the photo up and started tinkering with some processing options until I got to the point you see below. Yes, I thought, that's it! No doubt about it! I've definitely gone way too dark on this and I'm going to have to start again.
But then another thought struck me: it's something that's been thrown away and I'm about to throw away my shot of this thrown away thing and I do declare that it's a Thursday which means there's a theme about thrown away things that this might just fit!
And thus, I'm submitting it for #ThrowAwayThursday as curated by +lynn langmade, +Doug DeTraz, and +Mary Sass Clark.

Nice shot +Mark Hooper Love the processing!
Love it. The softness of the discarded blanket is complimented by the rough bench and sidewalk. Very nice!
Rough, tough blanketless life.. Haha! Awesome post as usual, Mark. Thanks for thinking of us!
Magnificent +Mark Hooper! Makes leaving behind an old friend seem somehow less sad
I see what you did there.
well kept thrown away +Mark Hooper . Beautifully moody.
