Urban Edges

I like to try to post "edgy" photos on this forum. Here are two urban scenes from downtown Fort Worth, Texas;

Urban Edges One

Urban Edges Two

DITTO!

That staircase grabbed my attention right away. Excellent!

A few mentioned the staircase/fire escape in the above picture. Look at this one and try to imagine exiting at the top -- 30 stories above the street -- and working your way down. What a thrill! :wink:

This is the Landmark Tower in Fort Worth, scheduled for a dramatic, early morning implosion two weeks from now.

nice shots...especially like the last one...scary!

like the second.. but it's either due to compression or over-sharpening that the building has a sort of an outline.
thanks for sharing

I love the composition of the second shot but the colours in the first one really do it for me. Great captures.

I especially like the second also

Wonder how long it would take me to go down those stairs in the 3rd shot.

Thanks for all the kind feedback. Here's another in that series. This one was taken today when it was very overcast, but this photo has a certain "edginess" to it as a result.
