SharonD

Looks good in B&W Gail.
GailD

Thanks Sharon. Couldn’t decide at first on colour or B&W. Went with the B&W
Memaa

They sure do look like boxes. Wonderful B&W shot. What is on the sides of the buiding, vines?
GailD replied

Boxes, yes Sue. I think it’s called city living. Yes they are vines on the side of the building. Thanks.
mekea

Awesome shot! Love the square windows, great pattern….well worth capturing! Love it! Mekea :)
GailD replied

It just stood out among the skyscrapers.. Thanks mekea.

Claire Farley

Love the b/w and those gorgeous soft fluffy clouds
GailD replied

Thanks you Claire. Clouds do make a difference.
Noelene Davies

Love the b&w Gail but certainly wouldn’t want to live there. I think the b&w brightens them up.lol
GailD replied

No, I wouldn’t want to live there either Noelene. I couldn’t decide on B&W or colour. Decided on the B&W. It does add just a little punch. Thanks.
Jim Caldwell

Looks like shoe boxes in concrete. Nice shot, Gail
GailD replied

Yes, it does Jim. Not my style of living. Thanks.

It’s amazing what you can find. I wouldn’t want to live in one. Great shot.
GailD replied

I guess you get used of it. Not for me though. Thanks Jen.
Memaa

OH, I can just see you now, Gail, living here in one of these “boxes” with your kangaroos, cats, Horses, and other assorted animals, LOL….........You would redefine the meaning of “city living”! :)) We are going to the beach next week. We will stay in a high rise condo (“Box”) I will take some shots to show you. I will be fine there for a week.
GailD replied

Glad you can see me there Sue. Then again, the animals & I might well be a hit in the heart of Sydney. Enjoy your holiday. Looking forward to the shots you take. Thanks.
NewAgeVisionz

Very nice mono contrasts…
GailD replied

Thank you so much. Appreciate your comments.
Larry Llewellyn

WoW!! Love the black and white…looks like buildings we have here, in Canada, Montreal’s Habiat 1967!!!
GailD replied

Thanks Larry. I guess they have these ‘boxes’ everywhere.
WarrenMackenzie

Larry’s right. Very similar to Habitat. Bet these boxes are a lot more expensive than in Montreal. Very interesting photo Gail.
GailD replied

Cost of living is pretty high here Warren. Not sure what it’s like in Montreal. Thanks for dropping by.

Superb B&W work Gail, and spot on with composition.
GailD replied

Thanks Craig. Glad you like it.

This is great, and I think the B&W was a good choice. This building has just the drabbest colours!
