Community Photo Challenge - Hometown

Hometown to me has always been the town square, especially in a downtown metro setting, and at night when it's quiet and everything seems magical.


I couldn't decide between the two because I love photos in black & white, so I am putting both.

I always liked the night shots done in color b/c the lights look like glistening gold sparkles....Ü  But in this case, I think I like the B & W....actually I like both!
Glad to see a newcomer in the challenge.
Thanks for participating!!!

Very nice town square...I've never been to Buffalo but it looks like a good place to visit. I can't decide which image I like better...I keep changing my mind, LOL. I guess that means they're BOTH good. :) So glad you decided to join the challenge and look forward to seeing more of your images.

Hi Buffalo Girl
Nice pics, but not half as exciting as your journal.  I read it until I was out of breath, then discovered I hadn't even made it through two days worth.  I try to stay away from the ER, but God bless you and what you do.  How do you keep such a positive attitude?
Cheers
Clyde

My eyes are drawn to the b/w for some reason...  Just that "late winter's night downtown" feel to it, I guess.  Both great shots, though!

If I'm honest, I like the B&W better for some reason. Things always look better at night - if only different.
Interesting journal by the way, will call back

I liked the colour photo as it offered a warmth that the black and white one didn't have.  
There seemed more life in that one.
Well done!  Very atmospheric picutres.

Town squares are so cool for so many reasons.  I have to say I prefer the black and white on this photograph - the contrasts of light and dark.

 I like the color because the green contrast on the building on the back gives the photo life but I do like black and white photo's.

I love them both..the color shows the top of the building lit up--very nice
and the B/W  makes you 'feel' how cold it is outside...

I prefer the B&W to the color, but bother are wonderful.
