CITY PEAKS (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

The first photo was taken in an Ottawa laneway, the second one in Toronto. I liked the shapes and play of light in the first shot. In the second photo the neighbourhood basketball court facing Toronto’s financial centre brought a sense of community to the big city. The colours caught my eye as well. I haven’t done much urban photography but I enjoy it and it’s something I’d like to do more of in the coming year.

    It’s good that those two peaks piqued your interest enough for you to make an abstraction out of them.

    A nice couple of shots – I can see why they caught your eye. I don’t do much urban photography either but, on the rare occasions that I’ve had a go, I find it quite inspiring. A change is as good as a rest I guess!

    Hi Belinda. This is a bit of a change from your usual posts, but change can be a very good thing, and I think this is. I especially like the second image.

    Terrific street shots, Belinda. I love to walk the city and challenge myself to see differently. I also love “urban nature”. Happy New Year!

    I absolutely love both pictures! The basketball court contrasts beautifully with the Toronto skyline and the peaks in the first shot have amazing light & shadow. Keep it up Belinda!

    You had to have timing to take that “peaks” photo.
