This reminds me of Van Morrison's Cleaning Windows.
If you've little time for the video, here are the lyrics:
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street Got in my noseAs we carried our ladders down the street With the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner And went straight back to work.
Oh, Sam was up on top And I was on the bottom with the VWe went for lemonade and Paris buns At the shop and broke for tea I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out I was blowing saxophone on the weekend In that down joint.
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows Take my time I'll see you when my love grows
Baby don't let it slide I'm a working man in my prime Cleaning windows (number a hundred and thirty-six)
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon On the street where I was born
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone"
I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen Curiosity killed the cat Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On The Road"
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows Take my time I'll see you when my love grows
Baby don't let it slide I'm a working man in my prime Cleaning windows

When I was in England, back in the early 1950's, Woodbine's were called "Coffin Nails". Only tried them once.
What did you do with that missing flag, Cindy.
What you won't do to unblock a bunch of windows! :-).

I love them both. But the shot is yours and it's for the contest, so good luck.

Remarkable sky Cindy and what I assume is a little HDR worked very well on the buildings - nice entry.

It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
This is a great view of this busy street, and from a high vantage point too. Many windows to see there, and nice to see the greens of nature in amongst it all too. Very colourful, well done!

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Guessing you utilized Mr. Topaz with some of the background in your creation COG. Clear as a bell. Good post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
SALEE, please, I have not been at any top recently !!! LOL
NOw this reminds me of a scene from "Midnight Cowboy". The day when the boy moves into the hotel and looks out of the window...
Fascinating, dear agent.
Yours SAM

People aren't going to remember the things you do. They're going to remember how you made people feel. Be kind, gracious, and appreciative. Dan Winters - Photographer.
Cindy...
This shot is somewhat reminiscent of your Boston series from about a year or so ago when you and Thad attended that class. I like the angle that you chose. This is quite a cityscape with a gorgeous view of very busy folks doing their thing. Love that sky but I'm not sure this shot emphasizes the windows enough to qualify as a winner in the contest.
When you're standing up there on your fifth floor balcony, do you do like me and spit over the side? :-)

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
Wonderful capture, Cindy. Nice sky and little clouds. Very bright and sharp photo. I love the colors. Sorry, the poem is too difficult for me.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Lots of interest and I like the vertical perspective emphasizing he flag poles.

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
I never heard that song before...that I can remember anyway! Pretty cool! Pretty cool shot too. I like the HDR or TopazAdjust!

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Cindy - This looks a lot like some place in Boston where Photoshop workshops are held. :-)
You got some excellent shots that day and have done a marvelous job in post-photo here. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
