Hello Barbara: Scenes such as this appeal to us enormously for the way in which they combine the past with the present and, in so doing, emphasise the transitory nature of all things.
Sheri -- Thanks for the nice words. I was not familiar with Edward Burtynsky but now I am thanks to you. His work is amazing. I looked through quite a few of his photos and will be back -- now there is a man with an eye!
Dianne -- you have such a sense of humor. I guess kids would love to hang out in alleyways like this -- lots of stuff to investigate -- thanks -- barbara
Jane and Lance -- Thank you for the nice comment. Each alleyway I see seems unique in its arrangement. Vintage ones provide the greatest diversity in materials. -- barbara
Janet -- When you mention your town on one of your posts I always think of a unique piece of Americana still within our midst.I find your ways, recipes belonging to relative, and collections so interesting. -- barbara
Awesome photo! It tells a million stories just by looking at it. Thanks for sharing...Darcy

Nice shot of the type of place I loved as a kid. Like me, things have grown older and rustier.
ReplyDeleteSuch history here in this alley. Love seeing shots like this. So much to think about.

ReplyDeleteI love alleys. We have a little alley in Ripley that we take shortcuts through all the time. It's tiny, vehicles can't go through it.
