At the lights

At the lights by petecarr.
I went wandering around Liverpool the other night at sunset looking for interesting angles. I’ve never really found a way to take an interesting photo from this side of the Liver Building as the light isn’t really right at sunset but that night it was perfect. I was in an odd mood for fitting odd objects in between buildings and the lights perfect sat in between these two. Naturally some guy shouted something from his car since I was standing at a crazy angle taking what appeared to be a photo of the traffic lights. Such is life. Still, I got a photo I’m happy with so ner.

it's odd: I've been called everything here in glasgow whilst out with the camera - you tend to build a thick skin around it, almost to the point where you are like "why in no-one shouting at me today???"

This is great framing, as well as lovely PPing. Excellent shot.
