downtown at night

another shot from last night just before i decided i've had enough and it was getting too late. i had to take a taxi just so i could get home fast and i still didn't get in until just before ten.

this is a busy intersection, bay street and king street, the heart of the financial district. i was actually walking towards the union station when i took a couple of shots. i like this shot because the red dress looked like a swirl skirt when in fact the woman was wearing a kind of sac dress but the way the camera captured the movement it looked like a swirl skirt.

another catch up shot, this one for week 20 of the 52 captures challenge. week 20's challenge was "motion blur".

on my walk this morning, i've counted 45 and a half red cars and 64 and a half blue cars. in fact, the last several days, the blue cars had always outnumbered the red cars. only i keep forgetting the final count as soon as i arrive home. but anyway, what's with the half car count, you ask? well, there was this jeep that, believe you me, was painted half red and half blue. the passenger side was blue and the driver side was red. kinda cool! if it wasn't going so fast, or if i was thinking fast, i could've taken a photo.
Great "summer in the city" shot. I have it in the back of my mind a visit is due- but does Canada insist on vaccination?

Makes me think of Petula Clark! Maybe you have to be old to catch my drift.

@illinilass - one of the greats! believe me, there are only a handful of people around here who are only a few years older than me. 😄 thanks

Love it! Definitely a fave! I've spent very little time in the city proper over the past few years, but it occupies a place deep in my heart, and I know it always will ❤️

You did a fabulous job of catching all the motion blur in this photo. It would’ve been fabulous to see that red/blue car.

@summerfield Yes- cooler is best for me too. I will look over my calendar as far as work goes and KY trips and send you a few dates via email. Maybe September if all goes well.
