November Challenge "Empty"

[meanderingemu]

November.  Shorter days in northern hemisphere, getting colder, grey. this was tough to figure which way i wanted go.   So i will go with a subject that can go positive or negative.  "Empty".  From the join of finding an empty spot, to those that have left us,  to the end of the bottle....  What comes to your mind when you think of Empty.....

 

 

Challenge will run until Midnight November 30 (GMT).  Poll posted following morning of my 8 preferred image, winner will set December subject.

I had an entire 1st class carriage to myself all the way from Leeds to London once. It never occurred to me to photograph it ☹️

For me this is a brain challenge ....

So far I never thought of empty images, as there is always something in an image.

Need to add empty as a Keyword to my portfolio 

 

Empty escalators

 

Empty Children slide

 

 

Empty artist parking

On first view I almost thought this was mine, but yours is much better exposed.

(dont want to clutter the thread with unrelated pictures, mine is in https://c7.alamy.com/comp/F6TA43/futuristic-tunnel-in-london-bridge-tube-station-F6TA43.jpg)

I saw you keyworded as Piccadilly Circus Tube, I believe this may actually be London Bridge.

Not at all, but that's history and today the Nissan factory and associated supply chain is only 8 miles away - and hopefully still will be if B****** comes to pass!

Hi there,

 

Emptiness is not a thing that I usually photograph...

So here come my three attempt at it:

 

Empty stairs in Japan:

 

Empty undercover parking:

 

And empty blue chairs in Nice France:

 

 

[MizBrown]

Two empty and one empty of its usual occupants but being used by cats.

 

 

 

 

 

Two cats exploring an empty fish tank.  It's a see-through box, of course.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Empty glass jar on a sideboard.  Saw the jar in a grocery store and decided to buy it and figure out later what to do with it. 

 

 

 

 

Empty woodland trail in the winter.  Taken by a Hasselblad wearing a 50mm lens.  I can't remember if I scanned it on an Epson flatbed scanner, or if the photo processor gave me a bigger than usual scan that time.   I sometimes miss the Hasselblads I had when they were cheap, but film in Nicaragua is hard to come by.

This image was taken last November on a dull grey afternoon in Calgary, AB in a park near Market Mall.   Not sure if it sales material, but it did reflect in me that classic empty "November" feeling:
