Miscellaneous
No this is not Santa Claus but one of the enterprising immigrants who need to earn money by collecting aluminum cans and plastic bottles. When I need money I can earn about $10 by collecting them too ( it takes about 4 hours so that comes out to around $2.00 per hour.) 
Here is one of my staged scooter shots. I guess these shots work well with life sized statues.

I always put aluminium cans and plastic bottle separately from other stuff when throw away the trash to make it easy for the collector and pick 'em.
The second shot is so interesting! I like it! That statue is very amusing, and the scooter adds a bit more humour to it :)
Our aluminium and cans go into the blue box for garbage days.
wow $2 an hour isn't much even here in Tx.
so this is a sculpture and you just added the skateboard? or someone else did?
@RestlessButterfly - I am sure the collectors appreciate that kindness. Sometimes when I am far from home I will collect and give the cans and plastic to a collector. (or even give them a dollar because they are working hard not like the panhandlers who just beg for a free handout.)
@Babyboomerjill - the bronze statue is public art. I just added my scooter as a symbol of a picture taken by PPhilip (sort of like a trademark)
@Mal_P - I hope you don't separate the trash too nicely, sometimes that takes too much of your time. However the small time that you use to do that helps in a small way but adds up big time for the earth.
@PPhilip - that is funny! the scooter with the art
@PPhilip - Yea, they work hard and their line of work that keep our road clean, they saved those cans and bottles.
You are a rare and talented human being. If only that there were more of you!!
