Keeping An Eye Open
This is yet another view from an alley that leads south off Bastion Square in Victoria.
I like the light fixtures, they seem to be keeping an eye (or two) on the place.
I had this one lined up for publication, but had to edit it since yesterday Melinda posted a different view of the same wall – the upper part with reflections. That made me look at the reflections in this shot a bit more closely. I think the reflected shadow in the door must be from Melinda – its not me since I was holding a camera up to my face at this precise moment. Of course I did not notice, I was too focused on getting my own reflection out of the way. BTW, I like her processing better than mine, though we both did go for monotone, so must be on a similar page.

Totally – all of what Ken said AND reflections 🙂

I think the simple black and white processing works well on this, too. This is such an odd looking building, full of interesting lines. It’s unconventional and interesting. Plus it has two sewer drains!

Hi Ken. It has very strange lines – such as the trim line leading away from the door to the left, but not the right, which seems odd to me.
One of those is a storm water intake, the other probably a sewer cover – they were an important part of my framing of this shot, though don’t quite have the impact I imagined through the view finder.
The painting on the pavement suggests that there is about to be digging in this area.
