The parks and walkways in winter always appear bereft of movement and color, lonely and waiting for the sun and fun to begin.Well caught Kylie.

@Linerberry: So true Linders, a few more weeks and the buds of spring will be out, thank you my friend for your lovely comments!
This image seems like it was made a long time ago. It has that old time look to it. I like it.

@Rags: Thanks so much Rags, it was the feel I was hoping for! :o)
You seem to do more with black and white photos that many people can do with colour. In this case I think the B&W adds to the sense of desertion

@jamesy: Thanks so much Jamesy, I did actually take this in colour but it looked almost b&w so I converted it, thanks for stopping by.
@Calusarus: Thanks Frederic :o)
@Seb!: Thanks Seb, your comment made me laugh... think Charlie was inside where it was warm :o) thanks for stopping by.
Kylie I like this shot... and its so well captioned... the black and white effect add more to the deserted feeling

Interesting composition, perspective and finish, Kylie. Nicely done.

Looks like a very lonely scene ... beautifully present, here. I suspect it is not always so lonely and deserted. I see the potential for beauty here ...

Wow Kylie, this is fantastic! It has such a lonely feel, thick with atmosphere and silence. Did you use an infrared filter? There is a hint of that to my eye.

Great image. The B&W was a good option. What a sense of quietness and peace... but I agree with Ron... we can feel some action here, with people walking by, just seated and the children running. Very good work Kylie

Beautiful. Did you shoot this about 1850? I love the tones. The beautiful light and glow.

There is a comfortable antique feel here along with a curiosity to know where the sidewalk leads.

Portrays a sense of emptiness or loneliness. Great job portraying a mood here.

the effect is very interesting, i like it very much b&w and the feels we can stract of it
best regards from the other side of the word (the island of menorca in spain)

Well done and edited. The image remembers the ancient photos of the old masters.
Congratulations.

A very interesting quality, it is somehow timeless in that it could have been shot anytime between 1850 and now, and full of an amazing light and interesting focus. I'm intrigued and really like your shot here.

the time passes, very particular atmosphere, bellisima shot and point of view
17 Aug 2008 7:53pm
Fantastic high contrast!! Great subject for it. Very nicely moody.

This could be taken at the very beginning of the photographic era, amazing treatment.

There is such a contrast throughout the image and so much to look at and feel. I really like this. I also think this has so much impact in B&W.
17 Aug 2008 11:30pm
wow so barren and a bit creepy! amazing processing here -- i agree w/ Mike... this could be a turn of the century shot... has a bit of an 'x-ray' feel... like Afred Stieglitz's famous cloud series... stunning!!!

Very vintage feel indeed. Feels as though legendary lovers used to meet here long ago.
Flawless composition. Great work!
18 Aug 2008 1:48pm
You managed here a good quality oif B&W. Somebody said it looked like a timeless shot...and I agree!But....so saaaaad!!!

i think the brush has taken over - looks like a trap!
great find!

There is sort of a lonely feeling in this photo. Well done.
