Abandoned.Among callous shadows and insomnia numb glare.Shivering in a nowhere with no other name than the shambles of my ignored cry.How long have I been here? In a nightmare that silences any measure.Making the moments into one death.Trapped or lost I cannot tell.Until some fateful hand grasps my life.

Phil is right, it's the experience of the viewer that counts, but I think in this case it's difficult to mistake the stroller for anything else;-) For me the stroller however doesn't have to be used for children, it can be used for transporting empty cans, junk, bottles, or just about anything else.
Well so far we all agree that this is a very lonely image, but we all have different interpretations of the feeling.

It happened still again, Kal. You know it is a stroller and you know there is a kid in it. So it is an entirely different picture for you than it is for us. Read the picture, Kal, not the experience in making it.

It's a stroller Phil, and would you believe it had a child in it! The parent had left it for a second and I grabbed the shot..

Very lonely image, although I am not sure what that device represents. Is it a shopping cart? An abandoned stroller? The shadow adds a dimension of despair. The dark street in the distance represents fear. It is almost as if I am looking at life with no place to go.
