Shadow Shot: Downtown

Downtown buildings,
lovely vintage architecture,
hoping for renewal of shopping.
Done in by cookie-cutter malls.
Hope springs eternal by the council.
Dreaming of ways to draw
the retailers once more.
Vintage people like myself
picture themselves walking and greeting
in a more relaxed venue.  
more shadow images
more SOOC Sunday shots

I like this photo. Has a sense of mystery about it. There is a city not too far from me with similar feel. I don't "do" malls. I might visit one every couple years only of necessity. I hate to see shopping plazas go up, because I see their impending death 20 years later-vacant and unwanted as people push to the next best thing. Maybe they'll push back to these this time.

Susan,
I wish they would; I hate going to the mall. Most products are overpriced.

I like the sense of these giants of old worlds waiting for another chance to be a part of the community! Impressive!

buildings reflected surprise- I'm standing right here but not visible! Our teacher guided us to stand in front of the joint of the two rounded panes of glass,  leading us to realize that we cast no reflection. sharing with two of my favorite memes Rebecca's   Haiku My Heart and James' Weekend Reflections
