We’re asked to show Cityscapes, so I’m going to show a few images where it’s all about the light, adding to the impact and atmosphere of a place.
First up, we have a view of some of London in the evening, seen from Waterloo Bridge. Old and new in close proximity:
and now we have evening light in the City:
Here’s Matera in Southern Italy, a wonderful view as you descend to the city, and my friend and I had wonderful sunshine where we were standing picking out the contours of the buildings – but the clouds looked a bit ominous ahead!:
And here is part of Havana, seen from a hotel as the sun was receding, coming up to two decades ago:
Linked to Lens-artist’s photo challenge at Patti’s here
Wow, Sue. A lovely collection. My favorite is your shot of Matera–a place on my “must visit” list. Havana is on there too.
Thank you, Patti! Pleased you like these! And yes, you must see Matera, and Havana… The latter sooner rather than later, I hope
Yes, Sue. Havana should be moved up on my list of travel priorities.
😀
The black and white’s a beauty, Sue, and that one of Matera is timeless. 🙂 🙂
Thanks, Jo! That image of Matera has to be one of my favourite images….
All wonderful Sue. That last shot with the sun falling is especially beautiful
Many thanks, Tina! The last one was taken with a 4MP Pentax point and shoot, my first digital camera the size of a matchbox – so sadly the image doesn’t stand up to close scrutiny! The other issue with that camera was the shutter lag….aaargh!
Lovely gallery, Sue – and I know you know that – Matera is my favorite!
Oh, I know!
I think the view East from Waterloo Bridge is one of the best in London. I lived there for 60 years, and never tired of it.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, I think you’re right!
No. 3 is brilliant – the photo I always wished I took when I was in Europe. It reminds me of el Greco’s painting – View of Toledo.https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/29.100.6/
Oh, I have long loved View of Toledo, Suzanne! Never made the connection with this image, but I see your point! Thanks!
It’s one of my favourite paintings too.
Wonderful shots, Sue. 😍
Thanks, Sylvia!
A wonderful collection Sue, especially I love the last one.
You’re not alone! Thanks, Rupali 😊
Maters wins for me, in fact I wouldn’t mind being there right now!
And I would love to return to Matera….
Great, especially Matera. I’d love to visit it.
You should!
