It's about as urban as I get round here I may well have to follow the "almost urban" theme.Struggled big time on this one. But managed to sneak one in

Well I tried the train station, but that was meh... I didn`t want to do the usual multi storey car park either, so ended up with this. The Cathederal is in the BG thoughIt's about as urban as I get round here I may well have to follow the "almost urban" theme.

Sorry I've not been entering, not setting a good example am I
Sometimes we just have to spend the time available on the most important things. You're kind enough to run the challenge, never mind feeling guilty about entering.

Cor did I get a shot last night . . . is my photo really urban? . . . I reckon it is because it is in the urban environment. On hearing the gritter lorry coming I literally spun the tripod around and took the shot. I didn't even focus! My position was on a bridge over a complex of roads that go six-wide with another high bridge believe it or or not, this road being a filter road into a residential area. My first ever 'morse code' type photo and I'm super happy with it, especially considering the 50mm lens I use. Okay so the rest of the entries are really great, they always are, irrespective I am so glad I found and chose to participate in this gentlemen's competition. Often I don't want to go out and take photos, but I do for this challenge . . . and I invariably come back full of joy and frustration lol!!!

It was nice to take a prime lens out and try to get the right framing etc with it. 25mm in M43 =50mm FF. I had wanted to do it with film like the old days, but time was against me. Still, this is a nice challenge and is good for us, to be constrained by the focal length.

I'd hoped to slip into town one evening this week but it's just not happened. Managed to find one from our visit to Great Yarmouth last week.
