Cheers. The colours really are fantastic, aren’t they? I’ve wanted to take a picture of this for ages, but never had anyone there to complement it. And fortunately I got the staring man and the bicycles. Very happy!
What a beautiful colour palette. The scene glows like a sunny day. I like the way the rust seems to be contagious having spread to the rear mudguard of the right cycle.
I wonder of the inhabitants took on the same hues, like the Grey Scrubbers in Gormenghast take on the grey of the walls their job is to clean.
I know eh? The rust is just making its way to every surface.
It’s a distinct possibility. Not sure if this fella lives there or not, but he was fixing the door just before I shot this. His silvery jacket may not be very silvery soon…
Yeah, he really does, doesn’t he? I’ve passed by countless times, and always hoped to catch somebody in the frame. This time when I approached, the old fella had his back to me and was doing something with the doors. Making sure they were closing properly I think. So I set the shot up and waited, hoping he would turn round. And unusually, it all worked out exactly as I’d hoped.

On man the bicycles on either side really add to this, don’t they? Again excellently framed picture.
Lee says
Thanks. Yeah, I totally agree. Couldn’t have placed them better if I’d tried. Lovely when things work out that way!
Harry says
Very cool shot. I really like the colors. I like his look too! 😉

Were you waiting for someone to go by, or were you taking a picture of the place when he walked by? He definitely adds a lot to it!
