Travel Photo Roulette... Round 10 "URBAN" PAGE 2 - Ken Kaminesky Travel Photography Blog

I’ve had a lot of great entries so far, and to make it easier for the pages to load, I added a second page.

Just as a reminder:

The contest rules stress “No Photoshopping”, but consider that waived for this round. I want to see your artistic vision, to me computer editing of images is an integral part of the process, if that is what you wish to portray in your photos. I’ll be judging on the merits of the photograph, not on the photoshop skills, so you don’t need to be a photoshop expert to participate.

When submitting an image, please provide a brief description and location of where it was taken for captioning.

Those interested in playing please provide a hyperlink to a photo you’d like to submit in the comment section of this post and I will host it on this page.

Since the winner has to host the next round, you have to be a blogger to participate.

* Please make it easy for me to LINK to your PHOTO *

Ok, let’s see what you’ve got!

Vue du Cafe

Nick from Locationless submitted:

This shot was taken in downdown Savannah, GA. I just love those old signs and when I saw this one, I had to capture it.

Pete from Hecktic Travels submitted:

The Colonial Hotel in Salta, Argentina provides the backdrop for this vintage Coca-Cola billboard, a poignant symbol of urbanization that can be seen in all corners of the world.

A graffiti taken on a random wall in Amsterdam.

My entry is a London telephone box in Autumn

The Erawan Shrine in Bangkok

Janice from Solo Traveler submitted:

Located in the old city at the center of Valencia, modern is juxtaposed to historic. They seem to live almost symbiotically. One holding up the other. Which is carrying more weight I could not tell.

Cailin of Travel Yourself submitted:

Taken in Valencia, Spain I love the mans face on the wall and if you stare at this photo forever you can pick up little images hidden everywhere.

Dyanne at travelnlass submitted:

I mean, what could be more urban iconic that not one, but TWO Seattle Space Needle(s)? ;)

Don’t forget to look up in NYC

Magda from Destination World submitted:

Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur

People often forget that Spain was under an oppressive dictatorship for so long. This picture is Madrid outside the beautiful downtown…

Deidra from Dream a Little Dream submitted:

Walking inside Myzeil, a shopping mall located in Frankfurt, Germany.

Adrian from Travel to Sun submitted:

Aerial view of Nice, France.

Todd from Todd’s Wanderings Submitted:

The picture represents everything I love and hate about urban Tokyo. The variety, the crowds, the light and the dark, but also the funneling effect of so many choices eventually making everything blur together and leading everyone in same direction.

Micah from Traveltude submitted:

A faceless Houston highway

Chris from Backpacker Banter submitted:

Melbourne Skyscrapers

Wes from Johnny Vagabond submitted:

A wedding in downtown Hanoi

Bethany from Beers & Beans submitted:

Everyone in the crowd was trying to get their perfect picture of the famous Moulin Rouge. I turned around, noticed the rain clouds and fantastic light emerging from across the street and I knew that was my shot. It reminds me of Paris, the crowd at the famous landmark, the way the rain bounced off the cobblestones and how everyone went running for cover. Everything is perfect in Paris – even the rain.

Rebecca from Travels at 88mph submitted:

Creek, Sky, City and Mountains = Vancouver, BC, Canada

Dave from Dave Wilson Photography submitted:

You don’t get many better skyscrapers than the ones down in Houston, Texas

Kim from To Uncertainty and Beyond submitted:

This photo was taken in Seville, Spain on a super hot (40 °C!) evening. Clark had just lost his hat at the cathedral and we were both in poor spirits. We camped out for about a half hour to get the timing right. I think it was worth it.

Kristin from Camels and Chocolate submitted:

San Francisco, at dusk, the ever-present layer of fog hanging lightly over the skyline.

Amy from surrounded by the sound submitted:

Calcutta is gritty but romantic, exotic but refined, seedy but dreamy. This photo captures Calcutta’s retro urbanity and all of my feelings about Calcutta at once.
