Meditations on the Rideau – Scott Murphy

True Stray: Specimen B/13•B/21

An overturned shopping cart frozen at the edge of a river in winter, partially embedded in ice, with smooth long exposure water surrounding it and a rail bridge visible in the background.

A field note informed by Julian Montague’s taxonomy of stray shopping carts. An overturned cart at the river’s edge is examined as a Class B True Stray, shaped first by human intervention and later by water, ice, and time.
