Main Street, Orleans by lauriehiggins

Main Street, Orleans

I don't live in an area that is conducive to street photography, especially in the winter. There's just not much going on around here this time of year. It didn't help that it was a gray, cloudy day.
i enjoyed catching up on your images, laurie! all is well here. getting back to "normal" after the holidays and enjoying some warmed temps after severe cold for a week or two around the holidays. i like your candids!

He's certainly expecting rain, walking the streets in his wellies! There's some good colour bursts in your photo from the lights, signs, jeep and hydrant.

Love your description. Nothing much happening and that's exactly what this shot is about. Guy casually waiting, casually dressed..

Love those trees! Great capture! Love the small town feel!

I think this is a great shot! you have to know that I am partial to these scenes! I love this time of year for two reasons- Christmas & empty streets!

I like the yellow, orange and red colour pops.

May not be a lot happening, but I still like the slow laid back areas more than the busy cities.

i think this is a perfect, small town, street shot.
i've got the same issues here. street photography on saturday would be exactly that........the street......hehe

I agree with Paula , it looks a nice quite place to be, rather than the busy city

Nice capture of a not-so-busy street corner.

I just fell apart the last two days of the challenge. . .grrrrrr. At least you GOT a street shot - it perfectly illustrates a time and place - well done. Me, I was just on the phone with the bank, western union, etc etc etc. You get the picture. happy monday and keep shooting (saying to myself as well as you!) xox

The hair dresser I used to go to was in orleans. I believe about one street to the south and half a block to the east.... if this is the intersection I'm thinking of.

@l2lumom This is the intersection in the middle of Orleans. I was standing on the sidewalk next to the Mobile gas station. The rotary would be to the right of this view.
