Flecks in the City

Just so I can say I'm on topic for the POTD, here are some craptastic flower pics! That's right...I combined flowers and flash!


No flash here:

Flash was used on this one. Kinda burned out because I was too close.


Here, Chauncey is flashing like a naughty monkey.
And here, he's without flash. Good boy, Chauncey!



But enough of those almost-cheery pics. Check out the alley and buildings next to Em's therapist. Totally Orton-worthy, though a couple of these use PW's Fresh and Colorful action and a couple use Virtual Photographer filters.

Creepy statue outside the office:

Creepy ivy overgrowing everything, weeding its way into the cracks:

Creepy upstairs window full of boxes holding unknown contents:

Sad/sleepy alarm box:

Windows with wire mesh:

Creepy/cool upstairs window:

Creepy broken awnings:
And this was the saddest/creepiest of all. It's the building next door, and although it looks cool through the lens, I was struck by this wreath and the fact that apparently someone thinks that beautifies the place.

With every shot, I kept thinking about how wonderful it would be for a photo shoot. Should have saved all these for Halloween time since they are so creepy;)

I don't know that these are shots of creepiness. But I do think the colors and lines are beautiful. I especially like the red paint AND the wreath. LOL

What a variety of shots! Love how you focused on the details. Looks like a fun place to explore and find all kinds of little things to photograph.

I love how the vines are on the building...so much detail around every turn.

Why is there a hole in the middle of the creepy statue???? You found a lot of good grunge in this and a very "moody" neighborhood.

Pretty ivy shots and I really like the composition on that first pic of the archway.
