Lousy weather isn’t exactly much fun, especially so at the weekend. But, in dark little alleyways, it admittedly does add to the atmosphere.

    This is a great pic, it’s hard to get good vibes in back alleys…

      Yeah, same here. So much character. Often characters, too.

    Lee, do you live in that alley?

    Seriously how good has that alley been to your output: you’ve shot some nice photos there, right?

      Haha, not quite, but I do pass through there quite often!

      Yeah, it has been good to me. No doubt about it. This is by far my favourite: http://goo.gl/khRQG

        Yep that’s the other photo I had in mind. Buy you a drink one day if I bump into you in that alley!

      Yeah, it certainly has that element about it. Just wish there were more places like this still left.

    Never drag your luggage through those alleyways in the rain. I learned that the hard way
