Not sure about this theme...

- Should we stick to the Urban Explroration description here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_exploration#cite_note-SFGATE_062008-1

- or can we post any interesting urban aspects, scenes, streets, etc.?

Thank you, Tatiana!

I, and some other mods, have been concerned, of late, how this thread (and some others) have morphed away from their roots. This one has seen posts of street scenes and landscapes. Urban exploration photography, as the link above describes, is more about man-made ruins as if you are some photo archeologist recording structures from the past. The term bleak comes to mind. Post #1 in this thread pretty much nails it.

Can we keep this thread and its content to its definition please?

Sure... like this?

Havana... The stairway up to the apartment I was invited to, by a local...

David_S85

Yes!

Did you walk up that stairway?

Yup

Went into his place; a former storage room.

I'm in building and I didn't see a bathroom

His wife & his daughter lived there

Here they are



Extremely proud people and look at how they're dressed. Castro makes sure the kids have the same uniforms so the poor ones don't look out of place

It was dry that day, but cloudy and foggy in the morning. The sun only came in the afternoon.

I posted this question nt as a critique, but only for a clarification. In fact, personally I'm more attracted to the living aspect(s) of an urban area rather than the ruined, decayed aspect of it... and I really liked the two posts with the Chinatown in SF.

Hopping that there are not tooooooo many threads in the "Other Cool Shots" I'll open a new one with this subject, with your permission

Yes, something like live street scenes are subjects for a different thread.
