Magnifique enchevêtrement urbain. La dame au manteau noir jette un mystère! J'aime beaucoup.

@Nina: I have no idea why this attracted me so...thanks alot :)
Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
You're right...there is something about this!!! Who is that mysterious character swooping across the image? Very cool!!!
13 Nov 2008 7:36am
@Linerberry: Iknow...just don't know what...and swooping, yeah that's a good word ;) Thanks so much Berry!
arlene from United States
That amount of signage would drive me nuts if I was driving there. That's the first thing I think of. The second thing comes because I just checked out your response to my second comment about the beautiful church with the golden leaves a couple of days ago. I'd thought that the evergreen was a nun. Seeing the woman in this photo, I want to write that that's a nice evergreen by the signs. This is an interesting picture, more so the more I look at it, almost claustrophobic to the right, open road to the left.

@arlene: I think probably a good interpretation of me lol thanks always Arlene :) I enjoy your comments!
Vink from Grasse - French riviera, France
Que de poteaux et de files electriques ! Belle prise de vue !
13 Nov 2008 8:12am
@Vink: Je l'sais, ce que je ne sais pas, c'est pourquoi cette m'a temps frappe lol
@Siam: Il fait froid chez moi Siam lol merci beaucoup!
DaveB from Exeter, United Kingdom
This ones a bit too busy for me, too many lines going in all directions! Must be a nightmare to drive around!
13 Nov 2008 8:53am
@DaveB: Yeah, I still don't know why I like it so much, thanks Dave :)
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
I am so glad my UK signage and utilities are heavily controlled when I see this forest of steel and plastic joyfully pressing forward. But what a darkly intriguing figure that is striding across the shot . . and not an evergreen in sight !
13 Nov 2008 10:05am
@Ronnie 2¢: I know I'm bewildered, don't know why it appeals to me so much, except for the lady in the coat, I like that part ;)
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Wonderful composition, Lorraine! That dark figure certainly sparks the imagination!
13 Nov 2008 10:35am
@Betty: It's my favourite part of the photo ;) thanks a lot Betty!
Alun Lambert from cheshire, United Kingdom
a very interesting image, there is something about this
13 Nov 2008 10:52am
@Alun Lambert: Very cool comment Alun ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
A really urban/old suburban scene. I think the person in the long coat striding across the scene really adds a bit of mystery and maybe humor to the mix. So many posts and signs otherwise, but a very interesting shot altogether. I like it in BW.
13 Nov 2008 12:41pm
@Viewfinder: Thanks a lot VF, the woman did it for me too, lol ;)
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
You know... I always love looking at the lifestyle of where people live... just the day to day life... great shot!
13 Nov 2008 1:20pm
@Fliss: Thanks a lot Fliss, I appreciate it :)
Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
belle scène de rue... mais alors quel fouillis de poteaux et de fils électriques , et aussi de panneaux !!!
Le personnage apporte beucoup à ta composition.
13 Nov 2008 3:30pm
@Francesc B.: Je crois qu'elle est la raison pourquoi j'aime la photo, merci beaucoup Franc :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
It is a busy image but so much to pause and study. It gives us a glimpse of life in your world which is always interesting to see. The figure is mysterious, as though she has lost her way from Halloween.
Enjoyable image Lorraine.
13 Nov 2008 3:44pm
@Barbara: Great comment Barb, thanks a lot ;)
@JoeB: Now JoeP. that could go one the file...:)
Rags from Plano, United States
I like it that you captured the lady who seems like the only person walking on the street.
13 Nov 2008 3:58pm
@Rags: She was entirely the reason for the photo lol thanks Rags :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
The lady looks so elegant amid the clutter of signs. A fine image, Lorraine.
13 Nov 2008 4:24pm
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks a lot Michael :)
@MontereyJohn: sole reason for this photo ;)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
That is stunning processing.
Here is a challenge. Take the same shot in 20 years and compare them.
13 Nov 2008 4:40pm
@Michael Rawluk: I think I'll be dead then...but if I'm not and I can still see i will thanks Michael ;)

13 Nov 2008 5:40pm
@Wolfgang - vu@granby: Wow, est-qu'on peut donner des étoiles pour commentaire? bravo Wolgang Quel commentaire lol
Scotfot from Kabul, Afghanistan
This is a great image - very striking! There does seem to be a lot of street furniture and overhead wires
13 Nov 2008 7:29pm
@Scotfot: Hey Bob, really? I learn a new expression from Am3, 'street furniture', I like it lol It's always a nice surprise to see you here ;) no sarcasm intended
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
La passante ajoute une touche d'humanité à cet environnement urbain envahissant.
13 Nov 2008 8:21pm
@Calusarus: Hey Frederic, merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire, il est génial :) et ça fait trois que je réponds à ton commentaire et ma réponse n'apparait toujours pas, qu'est-ce qui ce passe?

San G. from Encino, California, United States
I love all the directionality. The possibilities you offer with this perspective. The arrows make me laugh, "Go this way..."
13 Nov 2008 11:35pm
@San G.: lol I like that, thanks a lot Sandy ;)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Maybe it was it a witch out to buy an antique broomstick, that black coat is a true givaway
13 Nov 2008 11:55pm
@Richard_Irwin: Wait...there is an unusual, antique weird store that kind of intrigues me yet pushes me away, well, I think you solved this mystery, thank you Richard ;)
JJ from Jersey City, United States

Nice B&W! Although the wires are a little too distracting.... XD
14 Nov 2008 3:07am

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
The figure in black is fantastic in this shot! Against the street, cars, street signs and chaos, there she walks. There is almost a surreal feel here....love this one!
15 Nov 2008 2:27pm
@bluechameleon: Thanks so much Blue, she's the reason for it ;)
