Nice pics.. excellent colors..
Next time when you go out to take photos don't keep the camera in your backpack, I have done this and have regretted a lot. keep it in close proximity so you can snap photos while on the way to uar destination...
people will say its weird "like a tourist" or something...
But you may be able to capture some beautiful photos... "street photography"
Just like macro photography you will start to see every thing different..
Just give it a try
