I was walking to dinner in a city I was visiting last week and found this alley. I thought the perspective was good enough for a photo, but I especially thought it interesting someone had grown vines across it in such a way.
I agree. I like the colour of the light in the alley. It has a red/orange glow to it. Very nice and I hope you enjoyed your dinner also. Thanks for sharing.

Dear friend, please REMEMBER to revisit the place when the vines have green leaves !!!!
This image is very mysterious and beautiful now and with the leaves it is going to be SIMPLY GREAT !!! I am looking very much forward. And putting your name on my friend list not to miss it ! LOL
I also agree...a fascinating capture with the vines growing over, the magical lighting, and who knows what down the end of the alley...great shot.:Pat.
Funny that katman and all feel it is so scary. The thing was, I had to wait almost 10 minutes because it is an alley that had couples walking down it from this restaurant to that club to that parking lot over there. The downtown Friday night activity was quite heavy and I thought I'd never get a shot without some couple or group of folks walking down the alley.
This is certainly an interesting and unusual image. I don't think it's spooky either. Really it seems rather warm and inviting. Is this somewhere in Portland?
I am so glad you took this picture! For me, it's such a treat to be able to come to this site and find photos such as this... where the so-called mundane parts of everyday life are captured in a beautiful way. It's like we were walking along and you grabbed my arm and pointed down the alley and said, "Look, isn't that cool looking?"
And it is!
A little bit of green comfort in a very urban surrounding. I'm guessing that was what they were after. Glad you spotted it and took the time to capture and share it.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
