Everyday is like Sunday

And they are even silent and grey. At least in the city’s suburbs.

Sometimes.

    Was this done with a tilt-shift lens? It sort of looks like it, especially if you focus only on the bottom half. It would be more pronounced if the buildings didn’t go strait up to the top of the photo.

      No, it was taken with a regular lens Alex. I know what you mean though. An effect achieved through pure luck rather than skill though it has to be said.

    Would that be a normally populated area Lee?

      Probably Jonathan, although for whatever reason, quite a few of the blocks are now empty, making the area considerably less busy than it once was.

        Oh I see, actually there are quite a few empty apartment blocks over here now as well, there are some built areas that are not so built up anymore!

    I’ve been following your site for a while now and am always impressed by your work. I’m envious of your location. 😉 What a great shot and song choice as today is my birthday. Cheers.

        Oh, no, it was great! I’m a huge Morrissey fan and love your work. Thanks!

    I got lost at a neighborhood just like this one, when I was in Tokyo. I almost didn’t want to find my way back to the hotel… Nice shot Lee, thanx for the memory trip ^^
