Just Because......
they caught my eye. On a recent drive through the heart of Orlando, a number of things caught my eye. Since I wasn't driving, I was able to shoot a bit from the car window.
The first two are a full color and also a B&W version of the same shot. These are metal ornamentations on the side of an Earth Fare grocery. They were very eye catching because of the shadows they were casting in the early morning sun. Because the color is so subtle and non-distracting, I find I prefer the color version. The third shot is one of many fountains in Orlando.

I find myself in agreement, the shadows are fascinating. The subtlety of the colors does indeed work well in the first shot.
Nice set, well seen and executed!
I also agree. That is a very unique and interesting shot. The subtle colors of the first one make it look like a B&W with just a tinge of color added. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
That's a good enough reason for me...as if you needed one!
Good eye - interesting shot. I slightly prefer the color version as well.
Very nicely done, Carol. There are many things we see every day that are worthy of a photo but we often just pass them by.

Thank you, Bruce. It was just a little something but it tickled me.

Thank you, Greg! We aren’t in Orlando very often but there are so many murals, sculptures, fountains, etc that the opportunities are unlimited.

Thank you! Normally I don’t enjoy the traffic and such in town but as long as I can window shoot, I’m good!

Thank you! I agree and I’m trying to break that habit. With the Z50 it is so easy to have a camera along on any outing.
What an excellent eye, Carol! Those first two are unique.

Thank you, Mike! I was excited when I saw them. Made the husband slow down so I could get a shot or two.
Very interesting shadows Carol, like the coloured one better....
