Streetscapes - Thematic Photography

I never realised how few street scenes I take until Carmi's streetscape theme came up this week. Here are some from my archive dating back into the 1980s in Stavanger.

Gamle (Old) Stavanger, Norway
This was taken on a Sunday in the old part of the town. In contrast a shopping street is much busier on a weekday.

Stavanger shoppers
As part of her German course at Birmingham University my daughter spent a year at Freiburg University in Germany. We visited the city later, took some photos and asked her 'Wo ist das?'

Freiburg street market, 2002
Freiburg clock tower - but not a tram in sight.
But when you live in a village as small as ours, this is what you may see in Spring.

Forest Lane, Kirklevington - April 2010
Looking down the lane instead - it's still empty.

These last two pictures have cheered me up a bit as it has been wet and windy all week.

Interesting pictures Bob, I don't really remember much about Stavanger but I wasn't there as long as you. Love your local shots.

Nice set of streets. That cobblestone one is a beautiful one.

All your pictures have cheered me up, Bob. And the last two have given me an idea for my Streetscape post!

Good shots. I particularly like the Kirklevington photo.

Look at that old-fashioned (and stylish) pram!

(Do I need to specify "baby" pram?)

So many great shots here, it's hard to pick a favorite. You sure have a lovely country side all about you Bob.

Ah yes - Old Stavanger! I remember the hilly bits only too well!! Kirklevington looks really lovely - daffodils on mown verges, blossom, and nothing in sight! I'm glad places like that still exist all over the UK.
