I was interested in these parked cars and their reflections because of the colour arrangement.

In Australia we drive on the left side of the road. If these cars were parked on the street those facing away from us would be illegally parked. They are actually in a supermarket carpark and cars do this all the time, although I suspect that it still might be wrong.
Most of the parking in this carpark is angle parking. It is only at each end that there are rows for parallel parking.

I like the reflections. What's with the parked cars? It looks like they can park any which way they want?

i never bothered to notice reflections like that before so i will be on alert now ! i agree a rare arrangement but even more so without a Falcon or Holden [Aussies most popular cars].

Nice capture of reflections. How often would one find so few colors represented in a line of cars? The red/white contrast is eye-catching.

Or... do you go by Marion? In my mind... I always call you 'Jo'. *sigh*

Sorry if I offend...


No offense, but I am usually Marion. My username is just a reversal of my email - which is just a blend of the first bits of my names.
