The colour and texture of this weathered looking house caught my eye and when I saw the sign I smiled and took the shot. Taking an alternate route in a familiar neighbourhood can be an adventure. The second photo was the result of a similar walk. These houses were ordinary but the city laneway reminded me more of one in the countryside and was well worth some attention.

Yes, the alley reminds a rural location!

I’m taking alternate routes in familiar neighbourhoods too, just now, and also finding them rewarding. A 🙂

You’ve a great eye for lines and angles. I particularly like the B&W version of the lane.

Wow! Quite a contrast to the “raw nature pictures” and reminds me of my urban life as a kid.
I like it! 🙂

I love it when an image, in the view finder, displays something very different than what you might see being there. The world inside a tiny box.

It’s the world through your viewfinder. Showing people what you see.

The lane shots in colour and then b/w made me think of summer and winter at first. I had to chuckle when I saw the raw state of the drive-through. The wood with the peeling paint almost had me running for the workshop to get the paint scraper and a wire brush.

Thank you, I was pleased with how the b&w version transformed the scene.
Sounds like a lot of work involved in the second😏

I like the B&W treatment of the lane. The passageway seems longer and ending with those moody clouds–nice!
