Back Alley Blues (3)

Downtown and many areas in the older part of Vancouver have back alleys running behind the houses. Here are the garages, the power and telephone lines, here is the garbage pick-up and the delivery of goods for the stores, here the kids can play away from big traffic. I find these alleys a never-ending opportunity to shoot pictures - will show you a few in the next couple of days.
This alley is just of Main Street in the East End of Vancouver.

I know vertical images are not too popular .... but sometimes it has to be.

A wonderful shot, love the green moss/plant on the brick work with the moisture, and all of the vertical lines is great visual eye appeal.

The back does not look better than the front, but much more interesting.

The portrait format fits very well to this tall building and the construction of the stairs.
You are showing us a very special side of Vancouver.

Die Hofseite erinnert stark an englische Kriminalfilme -ich hoffe die Matratze diente keinem als Sprungtuch -unglaublich gute Dokumentation :+)

Ob das sich ausbreitende feuchte Grün wirklich durch eine Matratze aufzuhalten ist?
Liebe Grüße, Ernst

Questo degrado purtroppo esiste in tutte le città del mondo e non solo a Vancouver, estremamente interessante tutta la serie che evidenzia la situazione di questo quartiere!!! Cari saluti

If I see this picture I wonder if it will be safe enough for you to wander over there?
