Rack 'em up

These are some very lonely bike racks from the elementary school in Stayton. School's out, children and their bicycles are elsewhere, and here these bike racks sit, unused, unwanted... unloved.

But, still, they wait patiently for the next school year, for the bustling activity that it will bring. Mostly, thought, they await that one thing which brings them joy: bicycles once again being entrusted to their care. They will do their duty with vigilance, with determination. They will stand tall... well, okay, they'll stand short, but stand they will. Fear not, bicycle riders, for these bike racks have got your back. Or at least your bicycles.

I might also mention the racks and their shadows look like bent paper clips. Then again, I might not.
