At the end of the day by judithg

At the end of the day

I had settled on a filler from yesterday since the weather was lovely and sunny today as well but as I headed back to the car park in town this afternoon the snow was falling again and the lights on the wet road were pretty. So this is a quick iPhone shot of Sidney Sussex street. Town meets gown here as Sidney Sussex is most famous for being opposite Little Sainsbury's (although it's much bigger than it used to be and has been usurped by Micro Sainsbury's for smallness). I lost track of the day very early on this morning and never caught up. That means I have work to do tonight so if you see commenting from me before 8.30 tell me off!
Three good things:
1. Drinking coffee in Waterstone's instead of working
2. Snow that doesn't stick
3. Monty's very lovely new collar (even if slightly large)
Glistening and muted. It's very beautiful.

Very pretty colours here, if winteriness is measured by the number of snowfalls then it's been a real winter this year!

Gorgeous colours!
February 5th, 2013  
gorgeous shot! I love the colors you captured!
February 5th, 2013

You've managed to find some great colours on what was a bleak day. Now get on with your work!

Nice shot, the reflection on the wet paving is what makes it.
February 5th, 2013  
Lovely composition and lines.

Wonderful reflection of light on the wet street. Love your 3 good things you put on daily - you are a glass half full girl obviously. I think I am going to do the same but being glass half empty I think I will have to do 3 bad things. I may start tomorrow :)

Beautiful gleam and glow and like the pov.

Lovely lights.
February 5th, 2013  
Love the golden glow of the reflections and the 'misty' quality.
February 5th, 2013  
Like the surreal feel to this.
February 5th, 2013  
Nice colours and like the hazy feel :) Isn't Little Sainsbury's part of gown really - does anyone who isn't a student actually shop there?!
February 5th, 2013  
Hurrah for phone photos on busy, busy days! There are some great photo apps and editing apps too- such fun!! I like how you have presented this, has a glowing, Orton, feel to it.

A parquet street Judith & it has more shine than my dining room floor!! Love the bloom on this wet evening street & Sainsbury's serving Cambridge well!!
Coffee in Waterstones,what luxury!!!!!

@katharinehubbard I once had an interesting conversation with an alcoholic outside. He tried to give me 20 quid to go in and buy him booze because they'd banned him. He was so beaten up where he'd kept falling over and/or fighting that I had to refuse him. Poor bloke was desperate. And then when I went in the security man knobbled me and said he'd call the police if I'd make a complaint so that they could get him moved on. But he was quite polite so I refused. Of course he could have been gown at one point....

this is beautiful judith, dusk is the perfect time for night time photographs as there is still a little light in the sky and you get gr8 blues like this
February 5th, 2013  
Love those golden reflections. I did post a filler from yesterday as I was busy all day and didn't get chance to get out while it was sunny.
February 5th, 2013  
@phil_howcroft I'd thrown a song title in there Phil!
February 5th, 2013

February 6th, 2013  
I love the lighting and the softness of this. It has a very inviting feeling to it.
February 6th, 2013  
Lovely and so European.
February 6th, 2013  
lovely shot!
February 6th, 2013  
Beautiful shot. Love the light and the soft focus. Feels relaxing - like the end of the day.
February 6th, 2013  
Lovely scene! I love the colors, the reflections, the figures and umbrella...and I'm just gobsmacked that it was taken from a phone! (fav!)
February 6th, 2013

Amy
Great lighting
February 6th, 2013  
Just gorgeous reflections from your non sticky snow!! contrasting so well with the still blue sky!! I never knew waterstones did coffee, must get out more!!
February 6th, 2013  
yep this is a familiar scene, I remember shopping next to Prince Edward at Little Sainsbury's
February 6th, 2013  
Oh lovely shot, great reflections
February 6th, 2013  
The reflections on the pavement do look nice indeed - although it doesn't make me want to be there ;).
February 6th, 2013

Oh, now, I simply adore everything about this shot!
February 7th, 2013  
What a great picture!! I always love those picture with lots on reflection...masterful!!
February 7th, 2013  
This is just lovely--very special! Don't let guilt over not getting back to people worry you so much. 365 is too much fun to let it be ruined by pressure.
February 8th, 2013  
Amazing shot!
February 9th, 2013  
wonderful!
February 10th, 2013
