Urban colors

A golden cloud, a fancy fence and a proud red line -with flare-

Love the last one.  Yes, the ghost rounds out the image nicely.

One question: what does this red line mean?  Is it part of some traffic sign?

I love 1&2 because they are everyday scenes shown freshly.

The last one is special AND shown specially
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Thank you both for the comments.
 The red line in the last one is the bicycle lane. Contrast and saturation accentuated but pretty close to reality.

A bicycle lane drawn over the Zebra. Stunning.

Great set, I particularly like the point of view and color combinations of #2.

Thanks, Paco.  That should give quite an impat when I would see one on the road!

  Yes?  ;D ::)

  Thank you Charlie. I actually took a very similar image with my cell a month ago and I haven´t been able to go there with the camera until today. It is a overwhelming 3 min walk from my home...

I really dig the first image, what focal length was it shot at?

Love that orange fence.
Is it a golden cage with freedom beckoning on the other side?
Or am I just attracted to the color contrasts?
No idea, I just like it,

cheers

Thanks Andreas.
I have to admit that it is a kind of failure. I was trying to get cars, motorcycles, buses, people and what not in the other side of the fence but not of them worked. Now I guess it wanted to be more symbolic...
