They say that one picture is worth a thousand words. I thought instead that I would try a traditional seventeen syllable Haiku poem which is rather shorter in order to give my thoughts on the photo. (my first try at this!)
"lonely autumn roads
forlorn street lights leaning low:
winter drawing near"
The city cities were bustling with people in the streets above whilst below lay this oasis of deserted autumn streets under the railway, unchanged by time.

@Shuva Brata Deb: Thanks very much - thats very kind of you!
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael - thats very kind of you!
@Putter: Thanks putter - i love the care that you exhibit in those great street photos of yours very much too!
@Pouhou: Thanks Pouhou! - good composition is one of the things that i value most in a photo (along with emotion and interesting light if I can get it)
@Anne: Thanks Anne - recently I've been using the in-camera b&w mode in my camera rather than trying to convert in photoshop so there is not much PP apart from adding contrast with Elements5 and adding the sepia tone using the colour temperature slider in the free Picasa2 software.
@amy: Thanks Amy - thats very kind of you!
@Steve: Thnks very much Steve!
@Damon Schreiber: It's the most striking place Damon, but very difficult to photograph with my compact camera which has a 35mm max wide angle - its the first time I've had a yearning for a good DSLR with a much wider angle lens on it! :-)
