Dark days by vera365

Dark days

The weather has been completely dark and rainy for the last couple of days, so here is a pop of color to brighten up the day. On the way home, at a bus stop not far from our house - Ludwigsburg's own version of "Girl with a balloon" by Banksy. I've seen versions of it in other places, so I had to look it up on the internet.
So very cute!

This is a wonderful picture. Love the "Banksy", the colourful umbrella and the comp. I also ahve the feeling that the window has eyes and is looking into the street. Fav for sure.

Huge thanks to all of you for commenting on the "Dark days" picture! I've been walking/driving past this graffiti for 3 years now, thinking that I need to take a picture of it and I am glad that finally, it happened.

@sueb47 Sue - The little person under the umbrella is my son. He was first "assisting" by holding an umbrella over my head while I was trying out the shots fist without people, and then with some passer-bys, but it was too dark and gloomy to have a decent picture with moving people not blurry in the shot. So, finally, I asked him if he could go across the street and just stand there.

I am glad you all liked it - thanks for all the favs and comments!

@mona65 Funny! I haven't noticed this about the window till you mentioned it, and now I can't stop thinking about it!

@vera365 Manchmal frage ich mich, ob es schön oder beunruhigend ist, dass ich wegen dem 365 Projekt anfange: "Dinge zu sehen"? ;-)
November 27th, 2015  
@mona65 Ich finde es super! Oft in ganz "langweiligen" Situationen finde ich mich die Sachen anstarren, die plötzlich ganz interessant aussehen, wenn man an sie in einem Photo denkt. Das ist wie eine Super-Power, mit der man nie gelangweilt ist. :)
November 27th, 2015  
@vera365 Super-Power, das ist eine gute Sichtweise, die ich vielleicht übernehmen muss. Bevor ich denke, ich werde etwas komisch, bizarr, eigenartig. Wünsche Dir einen schönen Tag.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Super FAV
