Rob is upset by my closing his Street Art thread. I don't resile from my contention that I was correct to do so, but I liked his idea. Here is a second thread. Let's try to avoid the quasi-religious discussions of what is and is not "street" photography and stick to photographs and comment thereon.

As Rob put it:

Okay, maybe we can establish another box, a place where we can show shots that need have nothing at all to do with human figures, pretty, grotesque or at all, but do look at the shapes, designs or just random images that the town, village or city can give - if it feels so inclined.

That's a nice gesture, Jeremy; lets hope it proves fruitful!

As Rob suggested, this might be an example of Street Art:

Told you!

That's why such definitions make sense: they allow us to understand what we are discussing and why one thing is what it is and not another. It also tells you why some pictures stay in the mind; must be years since I last saw that photograph. I will probably never forget it unless I end up gaga.
