Photo of the Day: September 17, 2007

2bear.jpg

Flickr user sissnitz contributed a bunch of photos to the pool over the weekend so I had to show recognition of his photo-travels around the city. Why choose this one? Mostly because it made me laugh, and its a shot of one of those things that just makes you smirk and say "What the?" Welcome again to sissnitz as a Bostonist PotD contributor.

Photo Editor's note - I've been getting some great macro shots that I'll be posting, thanks to all that have contributed, and as always, keep them coming!!

    Editor's Response - Guest you are definitely correct that I should have thought further about the possibility that the bear was a memorial. However, there is no evidence of any other memorial pieces in this photo, and I honestly felt that the bear could have been put out for trash, etc. That being said, I'll be more careful with the photos I select.



    Regardless, calling people names isn't nice.



    Thanks again for your comment Guest and keeping me on my toes.

    Why would this photo make you laugh? Do you realize that this is probably a remnant of a memorial for someone who most likely lost their life right where the teddy bear still sits? Haven't you seen memorials posted around Boston? If not, wake up. There is nothing funny about it. Not one damn thing you ignoramus!
