I decided not to touch this one at all in Photoshop, other than to reduce the file size, because I really like the dramatic interplay between light and shadow in this one, with the bus and the bus stop in the foreground darkened by the edge of a cloud overhead, while the bushes just behind the bus and the apartment building are illuminated by a shaft of late-afternoon sunlight that contrasts with the stormy skies behind it.
Something about the mood of this picture really reminds me of the beautiful imagery found in Hitoshi Ashinano's recently-finished manga series, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (known as "Café Alpha" in some parts of the world), set in a post-cataclysmic but peaceful future where there are some people left (as well as humanlike robots), but the numbers are beginning to dwindle, and artifacts of modern urban life in the areas abandoned by man slowly begin to be reclaimed by nature. (This manga has never been officially brought over to the English world, but fan translations of most of the manga can be read here, and the opening sequence from the first two-episode direct to video anime adaptation OVA series can be seen here.)
Faded garbage can lids tethered to the back fence of a backyard. Looks like these cans stay in the alley 24/7, 365.
The three black cans are made by Tucker I believe. Because when AMS Industries was around, these cans were never made in black.

Finding a rubbish bin in London is a difficult task (they are largely absent thanks to the IRA), however with the shear volume of people at London's Notting Hill Carnival, rubbish bins would not have helped anyway. Forced into a situation where they have to litter, most Londoners still have some manners and discard their waste into a pile. There were hundreds of these piles strewn about the streets in an oddly clean way.

I'd switch the lids on those cans.
This is a new trash container in front of the 7+Fig shopping center in downtown Los Angeles. It is fully enclosed and has a solar panel on its top. The enclosure is likely to prevent homeless people from digging through the trash.
Feral cats in Saudi Arabia are plenty, they are usually seen feeding from the dumpster.
This cat is watching me intently while I inch closer to take its picture.
The blue can is deep blue. I'm thinking San Diego or one of the cities serviced by Burrtec Waste Ind. The green one is obviously Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation.
Looks badass. Gotta buy two different cans at a Home Depot in the US just to get the equal of one of these.
This one used to be blue for recycling in some other city. Likely Los Alamitos since there's a lot of blue Toters there.
The billboard says "Time for something special" or, a little more catchy, "Quality time". This is the view from the opposite sidewalk of the street.
No, there is no fence or wall or gate to shield the view from the passing public.
Quite the contrary, this is in all earnest intended to be seen by passersby as a marketing measure.
Whoever in the marketing department of German retail giant REWE Group with a turnover of, like, two-digit billion Euro thought that, like, putting up a billboard advertising its, like, new premium quality house brand product line right next to the, like, garbage bins in the back alley of one of its supermarkets would be, like, an excellent idea should maybe, like, start urgently searching the 'net for immediately hiring job openings, like, before his own one is forcibly terminated.
The fact that this ad was obviously put up without at least granting the graffiti-covered wall a dignifying coat of paint makes the depicted situation even more absurd.
The question "What were they thinking?" does not apply here, because it is completely obvious that no actual thinking was involved in the concocting of this horrible marketing disaster.

The Monday-afternoon sidewalk obstacle course has become much more challenging since the city introduced the green-box programme.
I bitch a little more on my photoblog.
The City of Coquitlam is planning to revitalize the Burquitlam Plaza area by creating a Transit Village with higher density and a mix of commercial and residential development.

In case you were intending to teleport through the garbage bin.....
Our neighbours have been plagued with people running through their land. What I find funny is how they put all their signs on the garbage bin. The signs have been escalating, too.... Here's a previous photo
