Lamp posts make great subjects in photography. At times you can often tell which country you’re in just by looking at them — their design, shape, and placement can be surprisingly distinctive. But beyond their appearance, it’s the story behind them that truly matters. It’s the memories we associate with them — a quiet street corner, a late-night walk, a familiar route home, the people we were with during that time— that give them meaning.

This is quite a collection Teresa. Very interesting. I even recognise some of the places in the background from my travels.
Thanks for joining in 😀
My pleasure Brian. Love the intricate designs of some of them.
Paris is a classic and I love that first shot, Teresa, but then, so many of these are lovely xx
Thanks a lot Jo!
You’ve found some beauties here Teresa! Of course I love the Paris shots but also Porto and Nazare particularly caught my eye 🙂
Thanks Sarah, glad you liked them
