Unclaimed Pram

There is a story to this picture. There must be. But I don't know what it is; I can only speculate, guess, or let my imagination conjure up a tale. Why has a perfectly good pram been left in a Copenhagen back street, with no occupant, owner or indeed anybody else nearby? It would of course have been rather distressing if it had been occupied and left so forlorn, but I was intrigued by its emptiness. Did someone no longer want the pram? Or need it? Did the baby die suddenly? Had the pram been stolen, or the baby kidnapped? Or was there some much plainer, more ordinary explanation? Was it just left here because whoever owned or used it happened to be visiting the people living above? Yet, if so wouldn't it have made more sense to park it near a door? The mystery remains. But I think it makes for quite an intriguing picture; there are some interesting lines and patterns, with the scrawled, careless graffiti along the whole wall creating some weird kind of life-line. Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
