Concrete & Asphalt: Sidewalks

Challenge #31 in the The Revolver series. Hosted by Digital Alfredo, The Bacon Wagoneer.

Challenge has finished

Have you ever taken a photo of something as ordinary as a sidewalk? We spend a lot of time pounding on these strips of cement as they wind their way through our cities and towns, but how often do we think of them? NOTE: keep the photo's focus on the sidewalks themselves and not the people on them.
