suburbanality - little boxes on the hillside

I would be lying to you if I told you that this photograph was taken in the wilderness of northern Ontario. In point of fact, this is in the middle of a housing development on the east side of Windsor, Ontario. Welcome to Aspen Lake.
From nine stations of Moscow tens suburban trains daily go, connecting capital with all stations where the railway is laid.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 1st of April is “a single flower”. Just by chance, the day the theme was announced, I walked out into my rear garden and saw that the first “Plantation Pink” Camelia Sasanqua in my hedge had burst forth. The hedge is covered in buds, but only one single flower, so it seemed appropriate to select it for this week’s theme. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Vigorous and fast growing, Camellia Sasanqua “Plantation Pink” is an upright evergreen shrub with masses of large sweetly scented single to semi-double, soft pink flowers and a wonderful centre of golden yellow stamens. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.

Another Bill Henson influence. Pyramids and suburbia? Check out the way he weaves images from Egypt into a photo essay about suburbia. Bill Henson's forte is underexposure.

I was just cutting through this street near Elland road football stadium and really liked how the sky looked so stopped to take a photo
Mass weeds growing on the footpath side of a suburban garden fence. I sat on the footpath to shoot this, and got tooted by a passing car.
As the sun goes down on one of Launceston's northern suburbs the day of work is done and a night of dreaming begins. Sometimes instigated by the television, but always welcomed in sleep. Unless it's a nightmare.
I was fascinated in this shot to see the continuum of colour that exists from within this room to the sky outside.
I have no qualms in stating that my inspiration in this series was the Australian photographer Bill Henson's wonderful exhibition and book, "The light fades but the gods remain". www.roslynoxley9.com.au/exhibition/the-light-fades-but-th...
After taking this photograph a representative of this company who had seen me on their surveillance camera, rushed out to tell me I could not take photographs of their property without seeking written permission from their national headquarters.
This light was too good to pass up and I insisted that I had done nothing wrong as I was standing in a public place (the footpath) and not on their property. And if they chose to continue with their absurd request that I desist from photographing them: (1) They must have something to hide, and (2) I would not use their services in future. I got the photo.
We must not allow our freedoms to be eroded by giving in to these corporate demands! Right now, all over the world, we are in a war for personal liberty. We did not ask for the totalitarian dystopic surveillance society we are getting.
ENG: A backyard view with many corners, edges and reflections in the middle of the Berlin district Mitte. I discovered this large backyard by chance while walking along the Spree river near the Friedrichstraße Structure suburban train station and was immediately thrilled by the sight of the architecture and the view of the sky.
Why "Am Zirkus"? Because that's the name of the street by the building today. ☻ The street was actually called Markthallenstraße when it was built in 1865, but it was quickly renamed. Because the market hall was an economic failure. In 1873, the "Markthallen-Circus" (later taken over by the Circus Renz) opened in the building, whereupon the street was renamed, first Am Circus, since 1903 in the current spelling. Nowadays, of course, the market hall is history and in the same place stands a new building since 2014 in which there is also a hotel.

GER: Ein Hinterhof Ausblick mit vielen Ecken, Kanten und Spiegelungen inmitten des Berliner Bezirks Mitte. Ich habe diesen großen Hinterhof durch Zufall entdeckt beim Spaziergang an der Spree nahe des S-Bahnhofs Friedrichstraße und war sofort begeistert von dem Anblick der Architektur und dem Ausblick in den Himmel.
Warum „Am Zirkus“? Weil die heutige Straße am Gebäude so heißt. ☻ Eigentlich hieß die Straße bei ihrer Erbauung 1865 mal Markthallenstraße. diese wurde aber schnell umbenannt. Da die Markthalle ein wirtschaftlicher Misserfolg war. 1873 eröffnete in dem Gebäude der „Markthallen-Circus“ (später vom Circus Renz übernommen), woraufhin die Straße umbenannt wurde, zunächst Am Circus, seit 1903 in der heutigen Schreibweise. Heutzutage ist die Markthalle natürlich Geschichte und an selbige stelle steht seit 2014 ein Neubau in dem sich auch ein Hotel befindet.
The project Suburban Dreams - 65 Photographs took many long hours conceptualising, shooting and realising through editing. It is best viewed as a whole.

This section of the inner Launceston suburb of Trevallyn overlooks the confluence of the Tamar and Esk Rivers. These late Victorian and Edwardian houses are nestled in beside the entrance to the Cataract Gorge.
The actual takeaway franchise here is irrelevant. What is more important is the way they dominate the suburban landscape. It has been shown that the more affluent the suburb, the fewer of these outlets.

We had a beautiful sunset this evening. This was a quick photo taken from my back door with my 180 mm macro lens which was on the camera at the time.
We often get beautiful sunsets, but it is hard to take photos through all the houses and trees, but I like the palm tree silhouette in this one.

Would have no idea that this is behind a school, sandwiched between a bunch of subdivisions.
Happy Sunday!
The rain is clearing away as the sun sets on a working class suburb. The bus has just brought a group of people back to their neighbourhood to rest for the evening.
After showing you the complete slideshow with music, we will at some point return to a few of my personal favourite shots, or those that some of you have highlighted. But for today I'll post the first and last photographs in the series. Both these shots were taken together.
This crescent moon in the clouds inspired the final link in the puzzle for me, and led me to Coldplay's "Coloratura". This song became the backbone for structuring this slideshow. So Photograph 01 begins here:
“Coloratura, we fell in through the clouds, and everyone before us is there, welcoming us now. It’s the end of death and doubt, and loneliness is out.”
* Hilarious that this photo was rejected by a group called "Sunset Light". What else is it? If they want landscapes they should call themselves a landscape group!
"chiaroscuro"
noun
the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting.
an effect of contrasted light and shadow.
plural noun: chiaroscuros
"the chiaroscuro of cobbled streets"
This time of the day provides plenty of opportunity to play around with contrast. The light here is more pronounced because of the dark shadows.
