Finalist number 2: @arun5866

Love is on Times Square NYC
This is my entry for 7 DAYS 📷 B&W URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST Day 2 conducted by @flamingirl

Times Square NYC is the topmost location when it comes to the best landmarks in the world. One of the crowdest tourist places on earth as well. Literally, you have nothing to see her other than the wonders of human architecture and how this tiny concrete jungle rules the economy of the world. Before 1904, the square was known as Longacre Square, and in the 70s, 80s, and 90s it was a seedy place with sex shops and rampant crime. The square's extremely bright lights can even be seen from outer space.

It is better to see this city once than to hear about it more than 1000 times. It’s probably the only city which in reality looks better than on the postcards. And New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American

New York is not just a city it's a world

Finalist number 3: @barbara-orenya

Hello sweet fellows of the ThirstyDay !
Today I'm participating to B&W Urban photography contest organised by @flamingirl
with this photo taken in my beautiful city Annecy,

This awesome quaint frontage is in the street Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which is a very picturesque one, as is the whole old town of my city by the way... ;-)

the cobblestone streets are the charm of this delightful old town that is crossed by a canal, hence its nickname of Venice of the Alps

Everything is done so that renovations respect the spirit of the place and retain the charm of yesteryear ^_^

Aujourd'hui, je participe au concours de photographie urbaine Noir et Blanc organisé par @flamingirl
avec cette photo prise dans ma belle ville d'Annecy.

Cette magnifique façade aux allures vieillotes se trouve dans la rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau qui est très pittoresque, tout comme l'est l'ensemble de la vieille ville 'Annecy d'ailleurs ... ;-)

les rues pavées pietonnières font le charme de cette vieille ville délicieuse qui est traversée par un canal, d'où son surnom de Venise des Alpes

Tout est fait pour que les rénovations respectent au maximum l'esprit des lieux et conservent le charme d'antan ^_^

Finalist number 4: @luigi-the-gnome

Today I'm participating to B&W Urban photography contest organised by @flamingirl,

because we took some extraordinary shots during our trip to Milano in 2016 that I want to share the B&W version of one of the most famous place there ;-)
This is a picture of the Vittorio Emanuele II gallery, that was taken from the roofs of the Duomo, the famous cathedral of Milano, and this monument is a splendor that I am really happy to have been able to photograph from this point of view, because it is a magnificence that could leave a gnome speechless ...
...I said could .. ;-)

It is a major and inescapable place in the city center, as this impressive Baroque neo-classical building is home to a huge gallery of merchants, cafes and restaurants, but mostly luxury boutiques.
One of its entrances leads to the Place du Dôme, (the one you see in the photo) the other entrance leads to La Scala

Aujourd'hui, je participe au concours de photographie urbaine Noir et Blanc organisé par @flamingirl

parce que nous avons pris des photos extraordinaires lors de notre voyage à Milan en 2016 que je veux partager la version B & W de l'un des endroits les plus célèbres là-bas ;-)
il s'agit d'une photo de la galerie Vittorio Emanuele II ,qui a été prise depuis les toits du Duomo, la célèbre cathédrale de Milan, et ce monument est une splendeur que je suis vraiment heureux d'avoir pu photographier depuis ce point de vue, car il est d'une magnificence qui pourrait laisser un gnome sans voix...
...j'ai bien dit pourrait..;-)

c'est un lieu majeur et incontournable du centre ville, car cet impressionnant batiment au style néo-classique baroque abrite en fait une immense galerie de marchands, , cafés et restaurants, mais surtout des boutiques de luxe.
L'une de ses entrées débouche sur la place du Dôme, (celle que vous voyez qur la photo) l'autre entrée débouche sur la Scala

Finalist number 5: @pardinus

Took this photo in George Town, Malaysia. George Town is a Unesco World Heritage Site: a few years ago, efforts were made to increase the quantity of art in the city, and the results were incredible. Among all the great creations that appeared from an increasing number of initiatives, a lithuanian artist called Ernerst Zacharevic created what are for me the coolest art forms in town: a blend of painting and objects, such as the one on this photo, Children on a bicycle.

Finalist number 7: @meme.elena

Thanks @flamingirl for making this photographic challenge.

The duomo, is the name given to the main church in some cities (mainly in Germany and Italy).

The Cathedral of Milan, known by most as the Duomo, is a Gothic church. It's the second largest church in Italy, after St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome.

If you climb to the top of the cathedral, you will see spectacular views.

Gracias @flamingirl por hacer este reto fotográfico.

El duomo, es el nombre que se le da a la iglesia principal en algunas ciudades (más que todo Alemania e Italia).

La Catedral de Milán, conocido por la mayoría como el Duomo, es una iglesia gótica. Es la segunda iglesia más grande de Italia, después de la Basílica de San Pedro, en Roma.

Si subes a lo más alto de la catedral, verás vistas espectaculares.
