Monochrome Monday random things around the city

This is a post for Monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos A challenge I try to join as often as I can, the other challenges he hosts are Sepia Saturday and Tree Tuesday, all fun challenges and worth checking out.

This week I am sharing A few Mono shots I have edited but never put into a post.

For my Sepia Saturday post I shared some shots of the cool detail at the bottom of one of the flag poles in the square around the NYC Public Library on 5th Ave, and as I prepared and shared that post I was surprised I didn't have a shot of the whole base of the flagpole, even though I searched high and low through my photo folders on Lightroom.
Well, clearly I didn't search well, as when I was thinking of what to share for this post and was looking through Lightroom, I came across this shot, so starting this post with it.

Keeping with an old time feel to the photos I share this cool street lamp found on Park Ave, there are so many interesting lamps around the city and I am always on the look out for them

The firts two shots have a nice old time feel, and I though soon these phone boths on city streets will be seen by the next generatioon as a relic from the past, or thats my weak way to segway between these two shots


unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

I love that first photo, it is a shame that this type of architecture/creative sculpting is not put into too many buildings and such today.

It is a blast from the past isnt it and I totally agree I wish more of the new buildings would focus on cool details like this rather than groundbreaking technical feautures

Nice transition!!!

You already got your #MonochromeMonday up?? I am falling so far behind. I have to run to catch up. I absolutely love the first shot. It is, hands down, my favorite. The way statues littered the landscape in yesteryear is unfathomable.

They filled up cities and even small towns, commemorating a leader or important person or even. We don't do that much anymore. Still, I am enamored with it. I too, love the different lamposts and lamps, especially in the older cities. They seem to keep the older ones and build around them. My favorite. I am in favor of keeping history alive for as long as feasible.

A wonderful way to start the week, monochromic.

I thought that was a fountain at first, but then I saw you said it was a flag pole. That is pretty awesome. I wish more flagpoles had ornate stands like that.

I have yet to get a good shot showing the flagpole and flag, its surrounded by Trees and hard ot get a shot of it and I agree I wish more flagpole bases were like this or variants of it to represent the area where it is

I just ran to the bank and put more money in! I need to figure out a better way of seeing how quickly I use it!

Let's try to !tip you again!

I get caught out by it often as well, I am now making a habit of toppingit up every Sunday, but it seems i am sousing it more each week and née dot top it up with more each week

Yes!!! That is my fault! :)

I tend to use tip every single post because my voting power is not worthy. In time, I think everything will resolve itself.

I will either go broke or become really rich. LOL

You are the ost generous tipperonhere i am sure so no wonder it gets drained regularly, but at least pay outs now include SBD so we can replenish our tipu Wallet easier ;)

I was so excited to see the SBD payments! Tipu had made a minor change with the down market, as I was allowed to buy tips with Steem also, which you never could.

So, it saved me!

I didnt realize they had made that change, I had been getting low on SBD at one stage but now letting it build up for a while in case it ever drops

They did that but also were paying steem at a low rate. :) I got desperate enough during #MarketFriday to scrape .75 some of the leaner times to make it stretch! LOL

Thats bad they did that, since i was getting low I don't want that to happen again, so I am just going to let me SBD keep building till I have a nice stack saved up before I even consider powering any up

For some reason, the phone booths made me think of "I Am Legend", with Will Smith. Are there really phones tucked away in there? I've seen, I think, one phone in our area (towards Sedalia...big city) but it took a credit card. Soon they will probably be infused into our forearms anyway...

I do so love the feel of the photos; nondiscriminatory to the current weather, the #monochromemonday truly captures the vibe of the surroundings. If we close our eyes, we can transport ourselves... smell the city as it breathes, the bustling " to and fro" of people hurrying to get to work, or perhaps move out of your shot?

I wonder if @old-guy-photos realized the impact this challenge would make...certainly something to be proud of yes? Appreciate your sharing as always... love the detail of those shots!!

I can see why they would make yu think of that movie, I see it now, and some of the phone booths work or look like they do but many are damaged , with so many with cell phones they are hardly needed any more , many are being replaced by new Link terminals with phone charging ports, information screens and the ability to make calls

We are going to start down the path of Minority Report there...

I could also begin conversations of things like...

  • 5G
  • Agenda 21
  • Geoengineering
  • HAARP

... this might justify an entire post, but then again, I certainly don't want to be banned. In closing, I'll just ask if you have heard of Dr. Steven M. Greer and if not, take a peek at The Disclosure Project

Yes I have heard of that I try to read views for various sides of the spectrum
