My Beginner Photography Part 9 - A Small Handful of Photo from My Old, but newly developed Neighbourhood

in OCD5 years ago

I took my camera out to my parents new apartment and shot a handful of photos of the rapid overly developing neighbourhood Langford that I grew up in. Through the 70s/80s it was a small community of approx. 10,000 known for having a reputation as the rough "redneck" suburban outskirts of Victoria, BC Canada, now a small city of over 40,000. Some say (myself included) that the development is too aggressive and expanding too quickly at the expense of natural surroundings and existing infrastructure. It's not my Langford :(

Anyway my camera battery died quickly so I was only able to get a small handful of shots this time. Some newly built apartments and a couple old spots. I took these last summer and I love how warm they look with the golden yellows and oranges and cooled down by the blue skies.



Actually love this shot of this newly constructed apartment building next door to my parent's new apartment.

The back of an older building of 60s construction maybe. I remember this was the back of a video game arcade in the 80s called "High Voltage."

A new apartment building called the "Cyber Hotel - Solo Suites" lmao.

Ha, the back of an old childhood friend's home and gated yard. My friend was from Hungary and his father was a car mechanic.
