After a While

So, it’s been a while since I went out to the Seawall and Kingston Beach. I’ve been feeling really cooped up and I think work has been a bit overwhelming lately, so I just decided to get some fresh air by riding out and taking some photos.

There have been a few new (albeit slow) developments at the beach and its surroundings. There’s a new walkway being built on the tarmac, to the south there’s an area being developed for small stores, and the tarmac has some new chairs which don’t look tacky. For the most part the landscape doesn’t change much, though. This afternoon it was quite peaceful and we had one of those mostly blue hues that makes the place seem cool and calm. Rain clouds scattered across the sky, with the introduction of a huge dredge on the horizon that, thankfully, won’t be there permanently. I like vast horizons without interruptions.

Here are some shots I took and am quite happy with. Think I’ll be doing mostly coloured photos for my street photography from now on. I don’t have much patience with editing either, so I’ll be minimizing that too. It’s quite something to find the extraordinary within what is considered ordinary.
