THREE DOORS DOWN
This is awesome. There's such a rich collection of balancing and interacting forms.
Since this is 3 doors away, could you include the entire set of the wires and the entire set of curved whitened area of cobblestone mass in lower left for me to see more.
I'd love that!

No - not three doors down from me. The three doors down is a play on the band with the same name. BTW - the kid was delivering buns to these houses, from the bakery shop 3 doors down the road.
Not likely I will take this scene any time soon with me being in Canada. At any rate, all that would be shown by a wider view, are the attached houses to the left and right of this set - there are only 3 horizontal electrical lines attached to the poles farther down the street, the vertical lines simply are hooked on and go straight into each home - there is nothing more fascinating about the cobblestone - just a dusty spot in the street.

It's kind of fun sometimes to see the process taken to get a shot - - - from seeing the potential, anticipating and waiting until elements are in the right place, or not. Then being able to switch to a new strong composition in mid-stream when events change.
I was heading home from the centre of the city, capturing all that interested me as I walked by. I don't often stop for more than a second to grab my images. They are literally on the fly. It was later in the afternoon as the sun was dropping - using ISO 3200 with my zoom lens wide open.
I noticed the colours on this wall and the boy walking along the street with a bag of buns to deliver, from the bakery 3 doors down the street. Initially I just figured he was walking by and so waited for my first shot, until he was in a position to be framed walking against the wall. I would have been content with that shot to add to similar collection that I have. But then he jumped up the steps and dropped the buns off at the house and then left.
The whole sequence took a mere 15 seconds and then I moved on to capture doorways and people right beside and along the street. The boy never noticed me and has no eye contact until the last shot when he was walking away and I began to move.
