arches under the bridge

it is very rare to see this particular part of toronto literally without gridlock traffic, on a sunday holiday afternoon. but then you get to appreciate those lines and curves. i had to convert this to black and white as the light is atrocious and took away from those curves and lines. this was bay street looking south towards the lake.

our province is on lockdown mode for the next two weeks starting wednesday. it's not so much that the rise in new cases but the hospitalization rate apparently is steadily rising.
Beautiful capture and edit. Stay safe

Works well in b&w

Great arches and lines!

Very nice shot. i wonder how it would look if you cropped out the right sidewalk.

Great repetition of the arches and roof structure.

Fabulous architecture, is it near the beaver tail place?? Sad you're back in lockdown Vikki, back to wfh?
@monikozi I think you'd lose that vanishing point, unless cropped as a wide letterbox. I think the pedestrian gives scale.

Just wanted to say best wishes for the New Year, stay safe, loving the b&w!

Awesome composition, Vikki! So sorry to hear we are going back into lockdown for 2 weeks - I guess I should follow the news more often!
It will definitely hit you more than me - I don't go to town often and a lockdown does not prevent me going for my daily walk with the dogs!

Super leading lines as well as architecture and street

A superb photo that I thought was yours before I confirmed it. Was it on your walk with @northy?

How is it possible the case numbers are NOT rising but the hospitalizations are? It seems thy should be hand in hand. Stay safe.

Great capture and good in B/W.

Love the arches and the horizontal lines above them!

@grammyn it's all about the math... case counts are rising quickly... percentage-wise fewer are landing in the hospital, but overall numbers are still getting high... 😔

I like the empty streets of a city. Sorry you're on lockdown again. Numbers are climbing high here again, but no need to put us on lockdown because I don't think there's the ability to enforce it.
@grammyn Don't you suspect that people aren't reporting or even getting tested for mild cases? Therefore those numbers don't get entered.

This is awesome in black/white. Stay safe ♥

Neat pov, composition

@northy thank you Northy I really appreciate that.

@randystreat That makes sense
January 5th, 2022  
@randystreat @grammyn yep…. It seems like there just aren’t enough tests to go around….

This is beautiful in b&w. It really does accentuate the lines and curves.

Gorgeous black and white shot. I hope lockdown isn't too bad for you
