Uptown Girl.

And when she's walking
she's looking so fine,
And when she's talking
she'll say that she's mine
Uptown girl.......

Three good things:
1. Rod Stewart is coming to Blackpool next June, a concert at Bloomfield Road, the football stadium. Tickets on sale tomorrow!!
2. I have decided on my next & probably last car...not yet though!
3. M&S vouchers halved my bill today.

What a great image to go with the song Pat ,or should I say a great song to go with this super capture I love the mono tone with the delicate selective colour on the girls -- very nice Pat

[Hazel]

Love your shot and the lyrics! (My task for the next photography group meeting is street scenes - not my best subject so will be a challenge)
Hooray for M&S vouchers!

[Gerry]

great bw photo Pat

[Sean O'Neill]

Love it, very candid B+W Pat. I saw Mr Joel sing this song not two weeks ago!! I do hope that you get tickets for Rod.

[Jan Hall]

Great pic Pat. Hope you get tickets for Rod, I saw him for the first time about 35 years ago, and then again about 3 years ago - he was great, and doesn't take himself too seriously.

[Pat Knowles]

@jantan We will be first in the queue Jan!!

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill Great song & he is still singing it....excellent!

[Gillian]

Great title for a great street shot. Nicely done, Pat.

[Padlock]

Great picture . Uptown Girl I think that was Billy Joel about Chrissie Brinckley and what is the choice of the car. You can get a camera bag in a Porsche but not Ferrari !!!

[Pat Knowles]

@padlock I have ruled those two cars out Padlock......it was a difficult decision though ! LOL !

[Jane Pittenger]

Fav. Love their walk, contrast, edit, composition

[Padlock]

@happypat so come on tell me which one. I know a pink fiat 500

[Phil Howcroft]

[KWind]

I like the scene! It suits B&W!

[Judith Greenwood]

Are they of a certain profession Pat?! Good luck with Rod - front row!

[Tamzin]

Nice use of selective colouring - is she wearing a bandage round her knee?! Good luck getting tickets tomorrow - saw a programme on bbc4 about him the other week - definitely didn't take himself too seriously!

[Sue Wilde]

Fabulous selective colour here Pat

[Al Bailey]

Fabulous street shot ...... the b&w is lovely :)

[Pat Knowles]

@padlock A 4 wheel drive Mini Padlock. I have been to have mine of same owners washed & valeted today so had a look at them while I was there. I fancy something a bit smaller but fun!!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg I don't think so Judith just what girls in Blackpool mostly look like!! Us Northerners you know like to pull out all the stops!!

[Barbara Paquette]

How very festive - ahem - they look.

[Rick Schies]

Sounds like a good concert in the future.

[Boxplayer]

Nice bit of street you got there.

[Maggiemae]

Nice characters to have walking along the street! My streets are full of very fat young women pushing prams full of fat babies! My car is no longer - we share one - saves a lot and we can cope easily with my bike!

[Pete]

Just the weather for dresses that short - brrr

[GazBadger]

Great capture... I love street photography... love the really gritty feel to this one =)

[James Verdi]

Great catch. I believe they look like Uptown Girls. Rod Stewart is one of the best.

[jenny tucker]

great classic street shot!

[JH]

Is Rod Stewart really a GT...!?

[Pat Knowles]

@jewelsandbinoculars One of THE best GT !!!!!!
