This guy was working hard to make a hole in the concrete with his hammer. He then looked up and saw some weird foreigner with a big camera pointed at him. He quickly went back to work.
walking around Austin, TX.
The only people left on 6th street are the homeless and construction workers. The construction workers do not seem to be doing any physical distancing.
We were passing this group of tired looking construction workers silently waiting for their ride home. They were pulling out their phones and looked stoic as they entered that 5 O' Clock World. I got the attention of one and I said in Spanish, "No faces. Only the feet." The tired faces looked up as I knelt down to frame this scene. They went back to the world away from work. I quickly caught up to my wife and we kept walking. First thing I said to her was, "I saw that shot and almost let it go. Glad I didn't." Washington, D.C. 09/06/2023.
Part of three photos showing some of the construction of a medical office building for most of the block bounded by Polk Street and Van Ness Avenue on the east and west and Cedar and Geary Streets on the north and south. This building (now completed) created medical offices supporting the a new Hospital (also, now completed) across Van Ness Avenue (the building under construction in the background).
With construction in this area going apeshit, the disruption/change to this neighborhood has, so far, been enormous and neither the hospital nor this office building were even completed. The homeless in the neighborhood are visibly, being driven into the streets and you see many of them wandering about aimlessly. On a personal level my ophthalmologist moved to a nearby, cement, office building. Built in the 80s, it is as characterless as it is nondescript.
Finally, the geotagged map says this neighborhood is "Lower Nob Hill." Lower Nob Hill is a recent, bullshit appellation created by pimping real estate personnel to try and give cachet to this traditionally, down and out neighborhood. In reality, this area is part of Polk Gulch, a subset of the Tenderloin and closer to Russian Hill and Pacific Heights, both of which are easily as wealthy as Nob Hill.

-Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as most interesting. It's now my 2nd most interesting, as Dots has now overtaken it.
I took this shot in the Santa Catarina neighborhood of Lisbon, known for its relaxed vibe, narrow streets, and creative charm. While walking through a traffic jam in the area, I came across these two guys, likely construction workers, waiting in their van. When they noticed me trying to compose a picture, I knocked on their window, and they opened it. That’s when I seized the moment and captured this shot.
My opinion of Paul Day’s giant Meeting Place statue at St. Pancras International remains unchanged: I regard the embracing lovers as a singular piece of kitsch. I expressed my opinions of it in one of my earliest Flickr uploads, from 2008.
But in my eagerness to shun the work, I had ignored the frieze at the base of the statue. In this segment, Paul Day pays tribute to the workers who built the Channel Tunnel that links St. Pancras International with Continental Europe, as well as those who toiled in transforming St. Pancras into today’s modern station. This was Britain’s largest civil engineering project, that lasted from 2004 to 2007.
I just love these miniature figurines. They are so life like. For this particular photo, I was working on the Macro Monday theme “In a Row”, and just arranged them in a way to respect the theme rules and also create a pretext to have them standing in a row. And what’s best than waiting to receive mail? Well, of course, this excludes waiting to receive bills. ;-)
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
