"And here we see a young Trolley that has, in all probability, been abandoned by the wider pack, or Supermarket Line as they are known locally. It looks longingly across a raging river, a look we can only watch and ponder, 'Do we all end in similar ways? '" #Australia #NT

An abandoned metal shopping cart with a red handle sits on dry, patchy grass beside the wide, sandy, and dry bed of the Todd River in Alice Springs, under a blue sky with scattered trees along the far bank.
