Construction Site Toilets, Yellow & Blue
I had just finished a bit of lunch in the A&W on Fourth Ave in St Catharines, Ontario and while walking out to the car, I spotted the yellow roofs on the portable toilets set against the blue of both the main body of the toilets as well as the blue building wrap materials in the background. It was too hard to pass up the colour contrasts and the repeating rectangles. - JW
