I want to start a new image thread: suburban images. By suburban I mean self-contained cities, town, and villages that surround a major urban city. I find it easy to do travel pictures, street and city-scape pictures when I am in a major city, nature and wildlife, mountains and other vistas, etc. I find that photography of the familiar, in this case suburban, is harder. The purpose in starting this thread is to see how how other suburban photographers look through their lens. {} P8180010 by David Dornblaser, on Flickr
I recently got interested in taking pictures as I traveled around my area and see what I could do to find interesting things in the familiar. So here are some. {} tree1 by vorlon44, on Flickr {} overpass1a by vorlon44, on Flickr {} car1b by vorlon44, on Flickr {} fence2a by vorlon44, on Flickr {} manstanding1 by vorlon44, on Flickr
{} Urban Beach Architecture - Australia 2015 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr A "striking" example of Australian urban architecture cica 2015. You might notice no one enjoying summer evening drinks on their balconies: well that would be because the building faces smack on in to the infamous "Fremantle Doctor", so in the evenings throughout summer you are likely to get sandblasted; hardly a pleasant way to enjoy the great outdoors. I just love Australian architects ... no clue about the physical environment
