Thanks. Interesting mix of yellows and oranges which a painter like Barbara – ‘Holycowgirl,’ below – might like to comment on. I actually thought it kind of garish at first and tried to correct the white balance, but it wouldn’t budge. π
I’m wondering how long that cheery window stays unbroken! A bit of ironic DMV-Nazi humor here, yes?, not unlike “Work Will Set You Free” on the Auschwitz gate. Or is St Pete some twilight zone where everyone loves the government ?
Hmnn, interesting ‘twilight zone’ question. About a year ago I received a parking ticket and when I went to pay it online, it said if it was my first ticket, which it was, then it was dismissed as a courtesy and I owed nothing! π
Love all the flow and action moving forward (a la HAP Peralta?) … everything simply ties in … coincidence that you mention “parking ticket forgiveness” and the window indicates that this is where you pay your parking tickets. Hmmm … is he going to smile and pay or punch out some poor clerk? Guess we’ll never know.
Recently I have begun to explore a new genre, street photography.
The thrill is palpable in never quite knowing whatβs down the alley and around the corner and whether itβs friendly, or not.
Iβm learning as I go. Β And as long as I donβt stumble over a tripwire or step on a punji stick I hope to post interesting images for your enjoyment.

Thanks. I almost threw this one away until I noticed how the chiaroscuro lighting played into the “share your sunshine” theme. π

Excellent work. Definitely an example of when color adds to a street photograph.
