I'm often wandering the local back streets at night (occupational hazard), and am frequently struck by the stark scenes of old places caught in the glare of the street lights. I keep trying to capture them, but I've only had two turn out with any interest at all. Wish I had a dumber camera that required a smarter photographer... th_bi

And had any clue how to use it... th_bi

Dunno...maybe they work better in B&W...

The second pic is great, in colour and in B&W.  Hidden depths, bold foreground, balanced composition, the red lanterns and the harsh white stone do a lot of good work.

And human interest?  Someone stripped off and went skinny dipping?  What's the pile of clothes?

I think the clothes were just some abandoned laundry. However, the area is sort of a local "Lovers' Lane", so anything is possible. th_af

The black and white one with the red lanterns is good. Pity about the clothes.
