Default Not pretty nature pictures
Here are some pictures I took during a photo walk yesterday in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. I wanted to challenge myself to step outside of my usual nature photography. Hope you enjoy these "not so pretty pictures"

A marvellous set! Love them all, really interesting and very different. Great perspective on the last one - are you looking into a basket or something like that?

It is actually a bench with, as you can see, a banana peel left behind.

Very interesting shot that last one. At first, I thought it was the side of a building looking up and the "banana peel" a set of blowing curtains. Nice job!

All very intriguing photos. I really love the second one, with the door opening into the sky. The colors are perfect.

Tremendous amount of imagination and creativity here Barbara. Great set esp No 1. Is that you in the reflection. Keep experimenting and posting. These are a joy to behold. PAUL

Yes that is me in the reflection. My husband noticed my reflection in the windows so I took the picture. Thanks!

Thank you very much. The contrast of the old building and the sky caught my attention when I took this picture.

Oh neat! I like your perspective. The banana peel could be curtains
