Symmetric shapes photo challenge

With this week's theme, no luck really. I could not find any interesting symmetrical shapes. Repeating patterns, yes, plentiful, but I did not have more time to hunt for symmetry. What's more I lost count of days and missed the deadline! Well, here come the images anyway.
I took the one with bikes in Cork on Sunday. The one in black and white I took in October.

Fighting the battle

Last week, to stay motivated, I decided to take on the weekly photographic challenges, as described here. So, I am not sure yet how I will go about "gunpowder, treason, and plot" challenge. However, for "fighting the battle" one I came across a photo when in Cork yesterday.
On South Mall, there is the First World War memorial and every November one can find lots of wreaths there. So when I saw the monument with the wreaths around and crosses, I knew it going to be the image I had been looking for. Here it is:

Shoot like Bert Hardy ...

So, after long time, the moment has come to revive my old blog. It is mainly for my newly rediscovered passion for photography. From time to time I will be posting my photos from our my outings or for photographic daily / weekly challenges. First photos to go are from a recent trip to Cork for street shooting. Our inspiration for November meeting was Bert Hardy but it was very hard to capture social interaction and humane condition so well recorded in his work.
So here it comes: my first serious attempt at street photography!
