carlton hotel Lille france, taken on google pixel 6 phone

“I have been a passionate snapper for decades… anything and everyone including street photography, nature, colour and black and white. Was in Lille last week and decided to take just the Pixel 6 rather than drag a whole lot of lenses across for a short trip.

I took the shot from one of my favourite locations-sitting in a café. I love people watching and have a collection of Café Life photos taken all over Europe. The photo is of the Carlton Hotel, scene of many scandals in the past.”
