Urban scenes can take many forms. Sometimes they are a view of massive buildings such as in our Manhattan images and sometimes they are local street scenes as we have seen in Millennium Park Chicago or Central Park New York City.  In this case I was really looking for a landscape scene on the St. Clair River near the Blue Water Bridge which connects Michigan and Ontario.  Walking around I noticed the skateboard activity near the river and move closer and immediately took several images. After taking the first images I approached the young man skateboarding to see if he would do another run while I was better prepared. As in many instances the candid shot was much better than the planned and posed shot. As Jay Maisel would say,  always keep your lens cap off, when walking around you never know what you might see that could result in a terrific photographic image.
