    Faded paint... always a great subject. Colours work well here too.

    Wonderful colours in these two. I've never been a sunset chaser myself, but we used to live in a house with an east-facing view, and came to appreciate the skies in the oppsite direction.

    Looks a great place for a quiet walk.

    Looks like a great walk, though the fine weather denies you much in the way of atmosphere. The first one is a much more impressive shot.

    Great series of unfamiliar (to me!) wildlife.

    Indeed, I've made some of my best mountain images in terrible weather over the years.

    I wouldn't say I'm a sunset chaser myself, but with the curse of a full time job¹, evenings are really the only option I have for mid week walks with photography, so organising my walks such that I end up in a suitable place to catch a nice sunset (should one occur) is just par for the course, because there's nothing worse² than a spectacular sunset kicking off while you're out and about with all your camera gear, but in a terrible location where you can take advantage of it. Fortunately, with the weather around here (specifically the Irish Sea perma-fog) this is rarely an issue.

    ¹ I suppose it pays for my camera addiction, but it doesn't half interfere with my opportunities to make use of them.
    ² technically, there are plenty of things that are worse.

    Hello mister police officer

    By chance I saw in TV news about opening of new street art exhibition. And by accident I happened to be in that location next day. And by accident I had camera.

    I really liked this, I have an affinity for the old structures when they are captured beautifully.

    Such weathered huts are great photo subject, I like it. First I thought that blue colour is natural, but on closer look it seems to be remains of paint.

    Love the warm colours and overall palette. Well done despite of short time for preparing.

    IMO this shot is best from set, love the light, colours and clouds. Maybe tad more sky would been better?

    Cheap but great fix to paint buildings. Seems to be great spot for photographing, lot of interesting buildings and colour combinations.

    Eh? I wish to be so "unlucky" as you were... Great captures of colourful characters!

    Looks like a fun place to explore, even if the dereliction is a bit scary. I enjoyed this set.
