Finding details

This one was taken a long time ago. So long, I just remember some details. It was one of those days that some details were just screaming "take me a picture". In this case, it was a gray winter rainy windy day and some of the flowers were spread over the street due to the wind. This particular angle caught my attention and, after resisting some seconds to what was already the inevitable, here is the photo. Finding details sometimes is just being more receptive to the flood of things that try to catch our attention.

Snow Bicycle

It's was a regular medium cold Saturday on the north of Germany. Clear sky and sunny. Me and some colleagues went to a local bar/restaurant to lunch. In a table near the window we eat, talk and laugh for over two hours. But during desert we noticed that something was different: everything outside was slowing becoming white. It's was snowing!! Impossible, we said. But the sky was now very cloudy. And has we walked away from the restaurant it's snowing with more intensity. Still amazed and trying to walk faster this bicycle caught my attention. Didn't think too much and here it is. Expect the unexpected :)

Water Wall Face

Saw it during the day, saw it during the night. It's the Crown Fountain in Chicago. These towers display random images of Chicago residents. Sometimes the water seems to spout for the image mouth when it's not cascading down each facade. And night or day, there is always someone near to take the bath :)

In line

It was the 4 of July and we were looking around for nice places near lakes in Wisconsin. They had already visited one they found nice during the weekend. So we went to this particular one but as soon as we got there we were charge $3 to park the car. Why? Because we weren’t from town and it was the 4 of July. Enough reasons to charge us differently from a Sunday (free). Because we hadn’t been charge before just to park the car near a lake, we stayed more time than usual to enjoy the “expensive” landscape. It wasn’t the price tag, just the notion of being charged. But it was worth it. The place was really nice and staying long enough I was able to take the time to notice these gulls all lined up in and old iron structure. And there it is. Stop, and take your time. You might see things otherwise you wouldn’t see.

Hidden street

I call this photo "Hidden street" because I saw this scene by mere luck. I was walking down a main street, in Florence, Italy, when I luckily look left and saw this. I grab the camera and took the shoot. Also right on time because a few seconds later the man on the left moved. I managed to take a second shoot avoiding the bright sun light on the top but it not longer was the same picture. Sometimes, and only sometimes, you just are on the right place, at the right time.
