I love my neighbourhood
A city street scene shows the entrance to a building with a wide overhang decorated with a colourful mural featuring rainbows, stars, and diverse cartoon-style faces. The mural includes phrases such as “Love,” “We are here for you,” and “Welcome.” Below the mural, the entrance consists of multiple glass doors with a sign above that reads “Wellesley.” Several people are visible outside—some walking, some standing, and a few wearing construction vests. There are tall residential buildings in the background, partially obscured by the brown, ribbed facade of the structure. The street in front is empty, and shadows from trees fall across the pavement.A colourful mural on the exterior of a building depicts a vibrant, inclusive scene. The mural features smiling cartoon-style characters of diverse appearances, some wearing rainbow-striped clothing and aviator uniforms. A rainbow arches across the bottom, surrounded by pink clouds, stars, and a cheerful, light-blue creature with a smiling face. The mural includes two banners: one on the left reading “LOVE WINS” and another on the right reading “SAFE SPACE FOR ALL.” The background is a mix of purple and blue tones with decorative stars and abstract shapes. Below the mural is a red brick wall with a windowed entrance, and a TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) sign is visible in the foreground attached to a pole.

Exit. A double exposure made recently with my Ricoh GR IV. #TTC #Toronto #BikeSky #bnw #RicohGRIV
A double exposure image showing a person waiting for a subway train, that is blurring past them on the subway platform. The person has their left hand on their waist, with their elbow out, and right leg crossed over their left leg. They are holding their bicycle in front of them. On the left a partial silhouette of a man can be seen. Overtop of this scene is the word “EXIT” and an arrow pointing up and towards the man silhouetted on the left.

#OpticalIllusion How many #skyscrapers do you see? Trick question! Bc this is Pennzoil Place which is 2 trapezoid giants in 1 + a huge 115-ft glass pyramid atrium, seen here, w/ 45° geometry. #WindowsOnWednesday #ECK #Architecture #Photography #UrbanGaze #StreetPhotography #SensoryArt #Buildings
A low-angle, upwards-looking vertical shot captures the dramatic, sunlit interior of the Pennzoil Place atrium in Houston, Texas, showcasing the striking late-modern architecture designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. The perspective looks directly upward through a massive 115-foot-high sloped glass canopy supported by a dense, golden-brown geometric web of steel trusses. 

Surrounding this sloped structural glass ceiling are the imposing, dark bronze-tinted glass facades of the twin trapezoidal towers, which rise into the frame with repetitive gridded patterns and glowing interior office lights. This image dynamic highlights the brilliant architectural juxtaposition between the solid, dark verticality of the skyscrapers and the light, transparent framework of the enclosed street-level plaza. The dramatic, intersecting 45-degree angles of the sloped glass roof slice through the space, creating a complex matrix of reflections and overlapping patterns that transform the interior into a mesmerizing optical illusion.

A pane of a window, framed in dark green, with an 'OPEN' sign hanging in illuminated faux-neon writing. The inside is dark but a chair is just visible, and an elaborate light fitting showing as a cluster of small triangles of light high up. From behind the camera some bands of lighting and a shop sign are reflected in the glass.

Been a minute since I stood in this spot at this rink. Popped in since it was the polling station. Felt like I’d never been away. Bunch of older guys laced up at the boards waiting to slice up that clean ice. Puck marks on the glass an added touch. Miss being a hockey parent. #hockey

High contrast, square black and white photograph of two men seated on stone ledges outdoors beneath shaded trees. In the foreground, a young man with glasses and a hoodie sits on a bench holding a phone, looking towards the camera. Behind him, another man sits on a stone wall searching through a bag. A pigeon walks along the ledge in the mid-ground. Crisp directional light highlights the stone textures and pavement.

#ECK #PostProcess #Reveal Original 📷: @rjrock.bsky.social See alt-text for summary of Lightroom edits. For this challenge, I wanted to focus on the distant peaks. I also adjusted the colors to emphasize the green and blue tones.
Jagged mountains shrouded in fog.

For this challenge, I cropped the image to isolate the mountains and fog and I eliminated much of the foreground. I adjusted the color grade wheels to emphasize the green and blue tones. I added radial gradient mask to slightly brighten and increase clarity of distant mountains.

#LightAndShadow #TextureTuesday Hindu #architecture is in a league of its own. Every angle is a lesson in sacred geometry & flawless craftsmanship & engineering. #SensoryArt #Buildings #BnW #ClassicMono #StreetPhotography #Photography #Photographers #BWphotography #UrbanGaze #GeometricShapes #ECK
A dramatic black-and-white photograph captures a low-angle, leading-line perspective of a grand Hindu temple, specifically showcasing its highly detailed marble staircase and ornate architectural design. In the foreground, wide marble steps with dark, polished geometric inlay lines run diagonally from the bottom left toward the mid-ground, flanked by an intricately carved balustrade featuring detailed pillars, floral motifs, and tiered patterns. The staircase guides the eye upward toward the temple's structural upper levels, revealing a beautifully carved archway, an embellished dome, and a prominent, towering shikhara (spire) topped with a fluttering ceremonial flag. 

In the background, a stark contrast is created between the classic, elaborate ancient-style temple carvings and a clean-lined, modern building under a dark, moody sky filled with dramatic, sunlit cumulus clouds.

A photo looking down towards the stone flagged pavement at the quayside at Media City Salford. 
There is a triangular shaped rainbow shadow on the ground that is from a nearby artwork by Liz West.
The artwork is a triangular tunnel with rainbow coloured striped perspex (I think) 
Sunlight was shining through the tunnel creating a beautiful shadow effect to fall onto the ground
