Monomad Challenge: "Street Photography" Black and White Photography

Greetings everyone today is another Post entry I will do here in this Wonderful community initiated by #monomad. My black and white topic post I have is all about black and white street photography. This morning, I decided to take a walk here in this wide street near in our house. It is nice to walk early in the morning and served as simple exercise as well. Expected to see lots of things that can be perfect to captured in images. This four lanes concreted busy road is located at Barangay Punta Silum particularly in Zone 6. Everyday, there are lots of different kinds of vehicles passing by here going to different places and destinations. Aside of that, this area here is filled with lots of cable wires and electric post on which some of it are connected to the commercial establishments and houses.

It was still 6 in the morning and stil the street was slightly empty with vehicles. Only few trucks, cars and motorcycle passing by because it was still early in the morning. This portion of the area is the boundary point between the two Barangays; Barangay Punta Silum and Barangay Calangahan. Each side of this area also contains a rocky cliffs where lots of wild grass and peebles can be seen and found. Few bill boards and tall trees also found here, it keeps the place cool and relaxing because of the shady areas brought by big and tall trees. Sometimes, there are lots of people who also doing simple exercises like jogging or walking activities together with their friends and families.

This big trucks can create shaking to the ground and a loud of noise because of its horns and sound of the rolling tires. It is slight scary to crossed the street because of the big trucks and other kinds of vehicles very fast running and passing by the place. It really needs to checked both side of the road before crossing the street. Rushing hours just like friday also have crowded of trucks and vehicles here passing by. This big tanker carries tons and barrels of Gasoline to other far side places. While Car drivers also drive very fast so they can reached their destination on time without getting late. Most parts of the road here already contains lots of big cracks because of the heavy trucks always passing by here and most of it are already in small holes at the concrete road.

Stores just like this one is not open that kind of time, the store was still closed even if it is already 5 in the morning. This store sells lots of breads and that was also my planned, to brought few pieces of bread but I cannot buy because it was still closed. Only this store was built near at the street and it really looks like very scary because it is near at the accident prone areas. The entire structure is made of plainsheets including walls and rooftops, planted with few balete trees.

By crossing this street, it needs to run very fast after checking both side of the street. I really felt nervous everytime when I crossed here but I kept myself calm while checking if there are any vehicles running very fast and passing here. For me, road is the back bone of the economy, without this place the products and goods cannot be transferred which can help the economy to the other place. Even if it is dangerous, I must kept myself calm and always keep alert by crossing the street.

Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
