St Martins by shepherdman

St Martins

@shepherdmanswife found a local photo competition inviting shots of Leicester’s Greyfriars area, part of what was medieval Leicester, now, thanks to its proximity to the Magistrates Court, mostly occupied by solicitors and barrister’s chambers. By the time I had a chance to get way from the office for half an hour I had missed the low golden early morning sunshine, and most of the streets were in shadow, but I found this shot of a narrow lane running alongside St Martins Cathedral. When I showed my attempt to @shepherdmanswife, she showed me the map of the Greyfriars area. Not only was this Lane just outside of the area, but also my lens was pointing directly away from Greyfriars. And the competition deadline is tomorrow. Oh well, win some, lose some.
still a lovely photo though. Shame you were looking the wrong way.

I have to disagree with @shepherdmanswife and say you were clearly pointing the right way to get such an attractive shot. Enter it into the competition anyway - the organisers can't be that smart, everybody knows that Greyfriars is in Edinburgh.

Wonderful scene just the same.

I like all the color tones of gold/orange merging into the street scene.

Brick everywhere! I know what you mean by the morning sun on scenes like this too! There will be another competition!

I love to look at the places that others live and work.

I'd far rather take home a picture like this than take a picture just for a competition. I really like this one.

Oh dear - work does get in the way sometimes doesn't it! Nice capture anyway and hopefully we shall see the correct view one day!
