Streets That Come To Life - Streetphotography

in #photography7 years ago

Do you have a favorite Street? One that speaks to you while you walk on it, that can tell you stories that you only understand, one that has seen it all and is willing to share its secrets and history with you ?

Roads are passage ways that get us from point a to b, but they are also the pulsating veins that connect us together. There is nothing more vigorating than a street with the sound of people talking, chatting, laughing l. The smells as well of course from the close by bakery and the restaurant that cooks the most amazing Italian food. Not to mention the visual aspect which is probably my favorite part. All the different kinds of buildings, some of which where made long ago and will keep standing there for generations to come.

My favorite street is Nanjing Road in Shanghai and the adjacent roads that connect to it. There is so much architecture here dating back to the British and American settlers that where here before the war. I can imagine the life back then. The amazing mix of people walking these streets, almost like a melting pot for different cultures. Still my imaginations have limits which is good because it leads me to want to explore more and learn more about these streets.

Do you any "memory lane" that you like to walk down and that speak to you ? What doea it say and why do you like that road or street ?

This is my submission for @juliank #streetphotography, wish you have a nice day !

I love this photo! It reminds me of an avenue in NYC where you can see the Empire State Building or Chrysler Building in the distance.

That is what is great about these kind of cities that has a mix of new and old - it makes it feel magical somehow :)

Thanks man

Love the perspective you shot this from!

Thanks buddy !

Great shot

Interesting opinion. You're right! I have a favorite street!

Do you mind sharing what it is ?

I do not know much English and it's hard for me to speak it, but I'll try.
This is Nikolskaya Street in Moscow. She is very old and beautiful! She has only one drawback - there are a lot of tourists walking

Still fascinated by that needle building I never knew of before your post a few days ago.

What type of ponytail or dead animal does that man have on his head on the left? I think I see sideburns, but so sorry if it's a girl and she's your friend.

Very cool!
