Rediscovered while “cleaning house”, this pair of images was photographed last September when our neighborhood streets and sidewalks were under construction. I wonder if the workmen were annoyed…

Photographed near noon on a clear day, with sidewalks wet from snowmelt. The light was so contrasty I could only see black and white textures, but the camera also saw rainbows of color.

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. 😉
