The sun unfortunately had disappeared today so I thought the
muted colours of these shops matched the weather.

I like the close in crop on these two. I'm inclined to agree with something that Sheila alluded to; I'm not sure that I'd know from looking at it exactly what Barry's is. I appreciate the desire for a nice, clean appearance but I think that in marketing terms that may be a self-defeating decor.

An interesting capture. The bike completes it.

I miss that days when there was a real barber's pole... I like the dramatic difference in shop fronts here. One is clean and modern and simple, while the other isn't. Nice find!!!

A very interesting and charming slice of life!

I really like this photo, it's so simplistic! Every day life indeed. V

Just looked at this image again. I really love it! The colors are wonderful and the composition is superb. Most of all there is a wonderful timeless quality about it. V

I wonder what "the works" is, maybe a number 1 grade cut :-)

I like the sidewalk, nice idea rather than boring one colour

A nice shot of these shops, so neat to see the old barber pole being used. Excellent muted tones. V

They don't make barber poles like the used too! Lovely capture of this appealing scene! V

Very nice lighting for the colors of these shop fronts. Well done! "V"

seems to be a slow day for business..a little shop nearby here in Vancouver sells Barry's Tea, imported from Ireland..

Very nice shot and how intriguing, "Barry's".

Those prices are comparable to here...love the old fashioned barber's pole

Nice scene - well done.

What a charming capture! Love seeing the bike in the image! VV

With the bike leaning against the wall it makes us wonder if he is in Barry's or if he is getting a hair cut. Nice to see they still have the red and white barber pole. I'm with Johnny, I like the striped pavement too!

Frank Brault		27-Feb-2013 23:06
Lovely shops and a terrific street shot, especially with the bike. V

Karen Stuebing		27-Feb-2013 23:01
Pretty little shops. The colors look very bright despite the lack of sun. V.

Nice shot of everyday life. Looks like Barry is still deciding how to complete his sign :0) Interesting shop fronts, so different in the amount of window space they have.

Johnny JAG		27-Feb-2013 21:32
I like the striped pavement

Helen Betts		27-Feb-2013 21:12
Love the composition, especially with that bike leaning against the wall. Interesting name for the barber shop, too! V.

Beautiful composition of this lovely image.V.

Máire Uí Mhaicín		27-Feb-2013 21:09
Do they not sell tea in Barry's? :))

John Reynolds LRPS		27-Feb-2013 21:03
Nicely composed - looks good with the bike there. V.

I love this... -- especially the nonchalant, blue-tyred bike.... But what does Barry’s do/sell...? Intriguing....
