Stepping back a little

This is a few steps back from my previous upload and still the same street in Differdange, which is a steel worker’s town with a population of less than 12,000. (ISO 100, f8 @ 52mm, 1/500sec., 15:21)

Backyard, Differdange, South-western Luxembourg

This is a backyard in the same street as in my previous upload just a few hundred meters away and in the other direction. Behind the garages you see some buildings of the ArcelorMittal steelworks which is the biggest employer in Differdange. (ISO 100, f8 @ 48mm, 1/250sec., 15:11)
