What are the aspects that distinguish one place from another?
I've noticed that in my own photography some of the things that I include are water, buildings & their details & bridges.
This morning I went to the river which isn't far from where I live..
There's a wharf & I had expected it would be busy with business people getting ready to catch a rivercat to work, but there weren't many people around at all.
I ended up being distracted by these birds that were sitting on an unused wharf. So I took a few shots. I tried to include some context in the photo.
I also took some close up shots.
Then I turned the camera on the building near to where they were perched.
One of the birds had had enough by then and decided to fly away!
As I walked further along the river I noticed this group of shells. It looked like someone, most likely a child, had been collection shells and had been asked to leave them.
Photographed close up & with some context.
Some artwork that also gives a sense of place..
mosaics around the base of some tall sculptures.
And in the end I did manage to find some people who were heading to catch a rivercat into the city.
I enjoyed my morning on the river.
