They are watching

Snapped from a speeding train window near the wastelands of the Yorkdale Mall.

A tip of the hat to all the streetlamp photos from yesterday: Here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Sorry if I missed any!

@H.O: Thank you, Hiro-san! The composition was pretty random, but it turned out okay.

@Fernando D. Rubio: Thanks, Fernando! The sky was an interesting dark blue colour, but something told me it needed to be monochrome.

@wanganeges: Thank you, Wanganeges! Your last few have got me as well.

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

Great shot Damon. Love the grain also. Actually was going to post a grainy pic today but I wasnt too happy with the processing. This is fine. Nice link to the other shots btw.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks! Thoughtful words as always, Duncan. The grain here was incidental to the "high" ISO (200) I had my camera set to, but it seems to fit the mood.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

@Chris Sullivan: Thank you, Chris! Your stunning shot for today couldn't be more different from this one. It's hard to even look at both and comprehend that they both fit under the heading of landscape photography.

Angry Buddha from United States

Love the creepy feel of this.

@Angry Buddha: Thanks, Sean. Creepy was definitely the mood I intended.

Still from VALENCE, France

Nice contrast and beautiful grain!

@Still: Merci bien, Still! Your comment is perfectly suitable for your own image today as well, although I'm not sure if the grain in your photo was just the sand. :-)

Paul Ricciardi from Lexington, United States

Good work, I think everyone's said what there is to say about it so I'll just add yet another pat on the back.

@Paul Ricciardi: Thanks, Paul! One always appreciates a pat on the back. One to you as well for a truly worthy photo, todya.

"dooooh deee dummm" That's the sound i made when i opened your page. for some inexplicable reason that's the sound i make when i see really pretty things -- girls included, which sucks for me.

@Zach Siebert: Thanks, Zach! Great story. I've been dooooh deeee dummmming quite a few of yours lately. Remember, with the ladies, say it in your mind.
