A high-contrast black and white photograph showing a narrow cobblestone street lined with historic stone buildings. On the right, a large, multi-story building with many tall windows creates deep, dramatic shadows stretching across the foreground. In the background to the left, a tall clock tower and the façade of a church rise above the other buildings. A single person, dressed in dark clothing, walks down the center of the street, partially silhouetted by the light from above. The sky is partially cloudy, enhancing the dramatic lighting and texture.

A high-contrast black and white street photograph. A person wearing a dark hooded jacket, light coloured jeans, and trainers is pushing a bulky, upholstered armchair along a pavement. The person is moving from right to left. To the left is a large, closed, ribbed metal roller shutter door on a massive, windowless facade. To the right is a rough stone wall with a prominent vertical downpipe, partially in deep shadow. Attached to the stone wall is a black sign for the "GREENOCK SPORTS CENTRE" with contact information. Harsh sunlight casts long shadows, accentuating the textures of the corrugated door and the rough stone.

A slightly overcast, mid-shot of a neoclassical stone building, featuring a prominent portico with four large columns and a central dark double door topped with the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. The building sits atop a wide set of stone steps. In the foreground, a cobbled square is visible, dominated by a black cast-iron lamppost, a black metal bench, a black bin, and a stray silver shopping trolley angled toward the right. The overall color palette is muted, emphasizing the sandstone texture of the architecture and the grey cobblestones.

A color photograph featuring a young woman with long dark hair, wearing a pale peach dress, walking toward the glass entrance doors of a store. The store's name, Wilko, Boots and an Argos logo are visible in the reflection on the glass doors. The woman is illuminated by harsh sunlight, casting long, sharp shadows on the tiled pavement. The right side of the image is dominated by the reflection on a large window of an adjacent building, which has a reddish-brown tint and shows the word "SALE" in large white letters, with a partial reflection of the street and cars visible through it. The composition is split between the sunlit entrance and the reflective, tinted window with the "SALE" sign, creating a high-contrast, layered effect.

A high-contrast, moody photo of a weathered stone building facade with four tall, arched windows, arranged in two rows of two. Strong afternoon sunlight illuminates the tan/pink wall, casting the dramatic, complex shadow of a large, bare tree across the entire surface. The windows have dark, gridded panes and heavy stone sills and headers. A metal handrail runs diagonally across the bottom of the frame, suggesting a slope. The lower two windows are heavily shadowed.

well that was nice.

#Photography #Sunset #Inverclyde
A vibrant, high-contrast photograph of a sunset dominated by a dramatic sky. The upper two-thirds of the image features streaked clouds painted in intense hues of electric pink and fiery red, transitioning into darker purples and grays toward the center. The bottom third is a stark silhouette of a long, dark, sloping rooftop, with a few bare tree silhouettes and a cluster of evergreen and deciduous trees visible on the right edge. The bright sky dramatically contrasts with the deep black foreground.
