In the cold evening mist, easily walked past and forgotten. "To see something spectacular and recognize it as a photographic possibility is not making a very big leap. But to see something ordinary, something you'd see every day, and recognize it as a photographic possibility - that is what I...

Hello Garry, The surreality of the Capitol very well done indeed, I know exactly how difficult this is one is lucky to get 1:50. Someone else I admire on Flickr; StockCarPete https://www.flickr.com/photos/stockcarpete in London but with an entirely different approach, but up to your standard...
