Will you go lassie go? by shannejw

Will you go lassie go?

On Sunday there was a street market and festival near Bowes Park, (Myddleton Road, for anyone local enough), where there is also a folk club, with live music. These were the folk singers when we were there, singing some very traditional tunes, the ones I learned at school.

We also walked a lot of the New River in that area, seeing dragonflies and butterflies aplenty for being in such an urban setting.

This I am tagging for the Make 30 photos Urban/Kitchen, the People with a Story and the scenes of the road challenges because it fits the criteria of all of them.

Thank you for looking and your comments and any favs. I prefer to spend time looking at your photos rather than thanking you individually below.
I like the b&w version. The lady singer looks like she is trying to pose for you.

I know that the singers are the focus of the shot but I am intrigued by what is going on behind them. All those windows seem incongruous. Could they be reflections of windows from across the way?

@gardencat no, I went back to the original colour version. It's an odd little street with old-fashioned shops and many panes in the upper lights of the windows.

@shannejw Very interesting. Now I'd love to see that street.

A lovely shot of the musicians in action, works really well in b&w.

Sounds like a great day. There is a lot in the picture but the B&W enables the musicians to stand out well as the subject.

Nice black & white!

I’m so glad you processed this in b and w. It lets them be the stars of the photo. I wish her feet weren’t cut off

wonderful street scene and perfect in b&w

@jgpittenger so do I, but if you look it's a bit of street furniture that's cutting her feet off, not my framing. I did wonder about cropping out the various bits of distraction around her (and may do so for Instagram when I'll take this square), but decided it looked better with the street furniture in.
