I think this one is a good candidate to try in B&W - puts a bit more emphasis on the design element of the circles of the drops versus the squares of the bricks.

Heh! I like that the glove is on the one crooked spike, too, like it has some sort of weight that caused the spike to bend.

How sad to read that it's empty! Often seems that the US is overly concerned with newer! better! faster! etc, while here in Europe things continue to serve a purpose for a very long time just fine. 1922 would be new here. :-) I like the capture of the detail, to include the old style "u" in Public.

I very much agree about the human element and am glad you snapped this when you did. I remarked to someone that when I first started at DPC, I'd go out of my way to avoid having people in my shots; now it's the opposite - I will go out of my way in many cases to INCLUDE people in my shots. This shot has a very good composition with the leading lines (especially the bulbs overhead) and while a bit drab due to the day (I'm very familiar with drab!) I really like that it's in color to show off the reds of the banners. Nicely seen.

What would a walkabout be without one of your architecture shots? Glad you included this one here. This really hints at grandness and I like just the partial words above. Hopefully we'll see more one day.

I agree with Roger about the noise - not too bad considering where it was at. What makes this shot is the contrast created by the verticals. I wonder how this would like in B&W.

Very interesting patterns and design. Again, like how you've framed the shot with the bricks disappearing into the diagonal. Nicely seen. Could use a bit more contrast.

A great find for your walkabout. Interesting how the one post with the glove is bent, but none of the others are. Looks as though it's waving its glove at us.

Great architectural detail, and I really like how you've framed this with the bricks disappearing into the corner of the shot. The shortening of the words make them almost appear to be in Latin.

I think the shot works well with the distant walker, and doesn't seem overly grainy due to the high iso. My eye wants to work in two directions - down the signs to the man, or to the man first and back up the signs. Works well either way.
