Urban Walkway by phil_howcroft

Urban Walkway

This walkway connects Arnold Library to Arnold Leisure Centre (Swimming Pool and The Bonnington Theatre).

It's not the most photogenic walkway, built in 1982 , probably seemed a good idea to town planners in the late 1970's early 1980's, but it is in serious need of some TLC and revamping.

It is a shame really as both the library and leisure centre (when opened pre Covid-19) are vibrant hubs of activity for the local community.

We even have a theatre, which is very unusual for a city centre suburb !

Anyway, it suits a gritty mono urban landscape shot.
The lonely figure walking away really puts life to this rather dismal scene ! - A nice composition!

I'm getting lonesome looking at it. Excellent black and white, Phil!

Well done. Beautiful lines.

The mood is so lonely. The solitary figure and hard lines. Great venue and composition.

These things are always such a mix of convenience and ugliness. You timed it well with the lady - perfect position by the steps.

Lovely shot and very urban. I like the solitary person about to take the steps on the other side.
