View from my window

Needing a break from the floral, I chose this shot for today before getting to grips with some macro shots. I have taken a few to process, but they are all flora and fauna as nothing else seems to be presenting itself at present.

As I opened the curtains yesterday, I noticed the long shadow of the lamp post, and the neighbour's mini shining in the sun. The combination seemed to merit a capture.
Agree, makes an interesting capture.

Great POV and perfect in B&W.

A striking image... love the light and your use of B&W!

Great shot and POV - my first car was a 1971 mini, complete with spot lights, sunroof and alloy wheels....happy days

Great pov and texture. Very interesting composition.

Love the angle, well spotted.

Inviting light and patterns.

Super shot of the mini...fav

Definitely well spotted and captured, Helen! Agree with Babs...really like the angle. :-)

and it is a nice view, why not?

Well scene and captured! Shadows can make such interesting photos. The shadows here stretch long like this at this time of year, and I so enjoy them.

Nicely captured view

Oh, my first car was a mini, that brings back some memories

@redandwhite thank you Catherine
@fbailey thank you, a twist of the camera included all that I wanted in the photo. Next door seem to be mini connoisseurs.
@moonmtn thank you - b&w seemed a natural choice for this
@kwind thank you - always good to wake up to sunshine in the mornings
@graemestevens thanks - there is something quite nostalgic about the mini - even for those of us who never owned one.
@haskar the light caught the texture on the street well. thank you.
@onewing thank you, I was holding the camera at 45 degrees to get the best composition
@ethelperry thank you yes, I felt invited!
@ivan thanks. It looks good gleaming in the sun light I think.
@gaylewood thank you Gayle. Yes, a carefully chosen angle.
@summerfield why not indeed
@janetb thank you Janet. I agree, long shadows can add so much to a scene.
@carolmw thanks Carol

@suzanne234 seems a common choice for a first car. Hopefully good memories.

Very cool PoV and such nice shapes created within. So well seen and shot.

I like this- interestingly in the Scavenger Hunt that our club does with another area club one of the topics is "Through the Window". I was shooting a picture of a bird at the feeder today but it seems way too typical for me. I think a walk along Main Street is in order! Good shot with a interesting pov of view- well done!

Compelling image Helen.. most of us would fail to see the potential. Fav
