You have an excellent eye for urban grunge. I may need to copycat.
thank you, and, be my guest, and see the (unseen) deserted factory through the window
Simply gorgeous. Artistic and matching so well with the words. As always. And so glad to hear the summer is always shining.
Thank you, that means a lot to me… and the sun always shines over Patagonia….
I second what Mara said. As always, I love them all, but there are two in here that stand out above the rest. Entrance and Prision. I think it’s the leading lines.
I agree: great leading lines in those two.
Thank you Cardinal, and just around the corner is a tram repair facility so expect more lines soon!
Thank you Amy, I am looking forward to watching this street through the seasons…
Very interesting and very different from the other entries to the challenge. I like it a lot!
Thank you, means a lot coming from you, great challenge and looking forward to watching Oslo through the seasons also..
Wow Andy, the starkness we can see here is stunning. This is a fantastic collection. I really love 77 and Stacked, they are intriguing photos to me. I love this. I really love that bleached look, fabulous!!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!! The bleached look is something I became addicted to in Belgrade and it seemed to work in this street, I am not sure how much this street’s appearance will change through the seasons but I am looking forward to watching.
Uffffff…………..these are too good !! Cleverly and stunningly clicked !
There is something for you here https://acbistro2014.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/stomping-at-a-respectable-python/
😀
Cheers !
Thank you both for this comment and also for the “shout out” on your post, much appreciated, so glad to have met you here!
welcome 😉
stunning pictures! looking forward to seeing the scenery changing during the seasons
Oooh lovely, nice and gritty as always, well grungy, not so much gritty this time. I adore the words, it’s quite inspirational you know, great choice. I love all but stacked and prisions jump out at me x
Thank you Justine, Im looking forward to seeing how, if at all, this streets changes with the seasons…
i am sure they will in some way even if subtle 🙂
We will see…
great to see Belgian streets through your eyes… winter is a challenging season to shoot, but you still have made the shots look compelling… I particularly like the last one, street No. 77 and the dry plants…
Thank you (again), I’ve always been attracted to the grit and grime of urban landscapes, and in this case winter enhances that look I think?
I love the (lack of) colors here. It sets a special mood.
Thank you. It was my mood. That day.
