Looking For St. Joe

I have been on a black and white kick lately. I think street scenes do that to you. This is another from St. Joseph, Missouri. It is looking downtown and towards the Missouri River.

My grandsons have a baseball tournament this weekend, so I will be as scarce on here as hairs on the Owd Timer's head. :)

Textures are my own.

This is definitely meant for a B/W shot Tick. In colour it wouldn't look that impressive I think. Nice find and capture.

Seems as though I loss the Color on My Screen Tick

It looks like an Eerie B&W. Scary I should say.

Bet you made it to look that way.

This does not look like the USA - it looks like any northern British town I could show you several flights of steps like these in "Glorious" New Brighton. Beautifully taken with great detail.

This is a real corker Tick - just so much detail to see and wonderful textures abound. Definitely one for the B&W challenge.

Tick - Superb b/w - like the Cardinal's play of late! I'm looking at this image, waiting for the cast of Les Miserable to emerge singing 'At the End of the Day'. Thad

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
