Alley


Sealed up window and dark passageway, delicate Victorian decorations and crumbly brick walls. Walls that have been here a very long time, and have their own secrets.

To see more of the world in monochrome, just click over to The Monochrome Weekend, presented by Aileni.

Quite an architectural mix in Michigan.

Dragonstar said...

So many lines and shapes - a total contrast with the more modern building just visible beyond. It's a different world.

Wonderful shot of the alley. I find it very intriguing.

Urban desolation...and yes, not only the walls, but all parts of those building could tell many tales...some we probably wouldn't want to know about!

Nice b&w!

All that's missing is the guy who normally sits on that chair watching the people walk by.

This picture looks like it could have been taken years ago. I like it in monochrome.

That's an almost Dickensian photo. Fantastic.

Your vision and B&W elevate the ordinary.

I really love this picture, what a fantastic monochrome. I think you have a very beautiful city, with a lot of scene to captured with or without color. great shot
