WHEN: September 2010 WHERE: Brooklyn, New York PHOTO: Leigh Fox, in New York City This misguided penguin is 1. in the wrong hemisphere and 2. dressed for the wrong holiday. Plus, stuck on a fence.
I walk a lot in the city and few things catch my eye more than the forlorn toy lying in the gutter or some other sad spot. I am haunted by a dirty, fuzzy stuffed rabbit wedged into the tiny space surrounding a pay phone; by the legs of a plastic creature bursting out from beneath a car wheel; by the headless action figure lying prone in an oily puddle.
There are a million homeless toys in endless cities: Do send in your own photos and I'll post them here. (Real stumbled-upon toys only, please; no set-ups. ) Tell me what city the sad toy is in, and any other info you'd like to provide.
