I had wanted to take a photo of 'Owen biking to work' in a city setting, as opposed to always out in the country. So I made him a safety vest so he'd stand out in busy traffic.
We went out on several occasions, driving around town looking for a good place to take the photos. There was no way I wanted to get down on the ground in a public space, so I was looking for something raised. There were utility boxes at the mall, but they were just a bit too high. It was also way too windy, and I was afraid Owen would blow over.
So we finally ended up at the town hall, where there's raised flower boxes with wide enough edges to serve as 'sidewalks'....

If I shot the photos from the other side of the wall, I could get the park and the street in the background....
Being in a public space there were bound to be some people passing by. One old man stopped to look, and asked if I'd bought the 'figure at Canadian Tire'. I guess he noticed the Canadian Tire 'tool box' (gift card container). Now that would have been something! But I politely explained that he was a special doll from Korea. Anyways, he said he really liked it.
