I didn’t have a good entry for Cee’s theme this week, but I was in the city last weekend and took a couple of photos. Street scene and skyline in the low clouds:

Love how the clouds envelop the top of that building in the second one, but I love the vibe of the first one. 😊

Thank you! This is near Temple University- an older part of town. Some great architecture even though it’s a bit seedy. 😜

Seedy makes for interesting shots though, especially in black and white. Temple, huh? Would’ve thought that’d be in a decent area. 😃

If you stay right around the campus you’re ok, but a couple blocks away and it gets sketchy.

Good to see that you suffer with pot holes too! (Don’t know if “pot holes” is international? – Road damage.)

We call them pot holes, too. Sometimes they’re more like craters! 😱

Reblogged this on Cynthia Hilston – Author & Blogger and commented:
What is it about black and white photography that just looks so darn cool? (Yeah, that wasn’t phrased very poetically, but I think you get my drift.) I love this type of photography of black and white urban scenes. Maybe the monochrome background gives the picture more of an edge, a clarity. I have some old black and white urban decay photos that I ought to share on my blog sometime.
