Taxi in puddle

In the photo ; Taxi, a town, and a small puddle. In a small, less modern town a taxi strolls down a street and photographer gets just the right shot. It looks like a small town since no one is walking around. It looks like a glum and boring town lacking color and variety. The puddle could mean it just rained and everyone could be inside. Why is a taxi in this small town? What made a photographer turn a camera upside down and take a picture? I like the picture for that exact reason because its very creative and gives a regular picture of a town an interesting new way to look at it.
