distracted

another street scene from the city's west side...some days it can be so difficult to get anything done...yesterday undertook a short shopping trip, en route became distracted by a sudden burst of sunlight, parked the car and wandered the area, took a few shots, then darted back home to check out the results on the computer..in the end I failed to get to the shops at all...ah well, the mundane tasks can usually wait

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/500s f/9.0 at 18.0mm iso160 full exif

Distractions are not always a bad thing, David.
There comes a time in life when it's good to stop and enjoy them!
Have a good weekend, my friend. *V*

David, Wise choice shooting this image. You have to use the light, when it is available. You can do your shopping any day. Well done. V.

The light and perspective definitely was worth the stop. There is something irresistible about winter light and long shadows. V

Some things are more important than shopping, in fact anything is more important than shopping

A true photographer - catching the quality of light, so often fleeting, is definitely more important than mundane chores! I'd say it was worth it for this fine image. V

Beautiful view of this street, lovely light !!V
Peter Sussex03-Mar-2013 20:54
Yes, I completely understand that shopping can wait when we get out of the captivity of a long, gloomy winter:) These houses look great in the sunlight and seems the bushes are coming alive. The red hydrant is a bonus here. V
