Some works must be ongoing... - by endika

This bunch of debris bags reveals some constructing activity in the neighborhood.
The narrow alleys in the old town doesn't allow the use of modern machines, so, the unique option is the "old way".

The bags certainly keep everything tidy. We could use ideas like that here!

Another great capture and an interesting explanation of why they are there.

Thanks for your comments.
I think I know the reason because these bags are so white: here in Barcelona, when you do some home reforms, you must put the debris in bags that you purchase. There's included a little tax on the price of the bag, this way you pay the tax for the works (more work=more bags=more tax). Of course, reuse of the bags is not allowed, and thus they are always new.

The cleanliness of the white bags and the strange purplish overtone make me shuddering. It is sort of waiting something to happen! Powerful picture!

The most pristine looking refuse I have ever seen. This is the Martha Stewart way of disposing of waste, ;)
