This was taken around the same time as these photos (these two were a good few minutes before).
I can’t remember any time I’d seen an ice cream van during a storm prior to when I saw this one. I found the sense of quiet around the van interesting, as well as how it contrasted against the amount of light available interesting so I tried to capture that as best as I could at the time.
I think I could’ve done a better job, position-wise, but overall I like how this turned out.
This is my submission into the two hundred-and-eightieth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Last Chance“.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Week 1 – Tina
Week 2 – Patti
Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya
Week 4 – Amy
Week 5 – John Steiner
Week 6 – Sofia Alves
Week 7 – Anne Sandler
Week 8 – Donna
Week 9 – Guest host
This one is curated by Tina. The next one will be on January 6th with the theme “Favorite Photos of 2023”.
Amy is leaving the Lens-Artists team to spend more time traveling. She has been part of the team since its inception and has provided some great challenges to think of. However, they are still there and she’ll still be submitting her takes on future challenges where she can. It’s sad, but seeing what Amy shares with us down the track is something to look forward to.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.




Very interesting SH – and good eye for catching this one.

I agree, there is a sence of quiet. Not a usually site when it comes to ice cream. I think the seagull is hopeful, someone one will come by too.

Your photo did capture an unusual serenity around an ice cream van. Maybe it’s wintertime there and no one is thinking about ice cream. 🙂
