Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is Back Alleys. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


Show us some Back Alleys



Here are the rules:
1. Shots need to be taken between Tuesday, after the new theme is posted and the following Monday by sunset (Whenever that is for you). Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
2. Post your shots at any time during the week.
3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e. embedding them) but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES
That's it! Have fun! As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.
An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK INDEX

That's it!
Have fun!

I am fortunate, if that's the correct word to use, to live in a place (Gibraltar) that is full of "Back Alleys," I took quite a number this evening as a demonstration. The one below is of Benzimra's Alley followed by Horse Barrack Lane.

Would this be considered as an alley? It is definitely the narrowest street i have ever seen.

Lisbon. Apparently at some point in time the banks of river Tagus lapped at the end of this street. So streets in this neighborhood were made so narrow that if pirates tried to invade the city they would have to climb the steps one at a time, which made them easy pickings for the townsfolk waiting for them at the top.

Our tour guide had a lot of interesting stories :-)

A few selections from a strip of land behind a row of businesses. The area is mostly a parking lot.

I loved this week's theme and planned to go down town to shoot a number of really great alleys (We obviously have tons of them). And then an insane heat wave hit us. Temps of 40.7ºC (a new record; the previous one was 38.8ºC that stood for 75 years...), and of course inner cities being like islands of heat, I did not want to go there.

Joayne, can we do this one again in the Autumn! Winter would be good also. :-P

I stayed indoors as much as I could and really enjoyed this week's entries!

Some very interesting Back Alleys..
