~ Shots of Street Lamps in Monochrome ~

This week’s theme for Monochrome Madness is Street Lamps. Chosen by Brian @ BushBoy’s World.

I looked through my archives and found a few, they make lovely shots, especially when transformed into monotone. The old wrought iron and lacework make the best photos. Obviously, lighting has changed over the years to be more practical. Still, a street looks so much more interesting when there are old-fashioned lamp posts.

The Louvre, Paris
The Cherry Tree, Stambridge, Essex
Salcombe, Devon

I couldn’t resist leaving a touch of the yellow lichen on the roof.

George and Vulture Pub, London

Taken on a walk around London, I happened to glance down an alley way and saw this pub. Apparently the tallest pub in London and there has been an inn on this site since 1142. It is now a Grade II listed building. Charles Dickens mentioned it several times in The Pickwick Papers.

The Nell Gwynne Tavern, London

The above needs no introduction. Being named after one of Charles II’s mistresses. Possibly, the most famous one of all.

  2. Wow Ali, these are fabulous conversions. The sepia and the selective colour are so good especially suited Nell Gwynne’s Tavern.
    Thanks for joining in 😀

  3. A really good selection Alison, and I agree about old streetlamps being the most photogenic! I especially love that shot by the Louvre 🙂
