Horizontal lines of a colorful rusted door and concrete.

The graphic lines and complementary colors of blue and orange attracted me to this subject in an alley.

It might look well printed on metallic paper, and tie into the series of doors I photographed awhile back in the catacombs of Savannah.

Edit October 2, 2010: I replaced the original image with another, attempting to bring out more color and contrast. Following is version 1 for comparison—change is more obvious in the larger versions:

Impressions of fallen leaves in a concrete sidewalk

I found a stretch of sidewalk which must have been poured in the autumn when leaves were falling. They’ve left beautiful impressions, and I took a bunch of shots. They might make nice greeting cards. 😉

Alley buildings and sky reflected in water.

Walking the alleys after a rainstorm, it was a good day to focus on reflections.
