Like something from the movies . . I expect a couple of Extras to saunter menacingly by !

@Ronnie 2¢: oddly enough i was in this very alley a number of years ago (at 3 a.m.) doing sound for a film crew!

Dark alley; all alone...good idea? Hmm....
Great capture, but I would have been scared.

A well captured creepy mood in this lane. Don't want to walk alone there !!

It is striking how the light is shining on the new building. Such a juxtaposition to the old and much more warn facades of the old ones in the foreground.

Very good B&W... Beautiful atmosphere... Brrr... I agree with Evelyne... An ideal place for a trap !!

Hey, is that the cigar shop on the left opening up onto Belmont? I recognize that new modern clothing store. Nice job.

@Ken: thanks! yes, it's the alley of 'the Alley" fame - which i was semi-surprised to find is still there and thriving...
