Weekly challenge #166 - "Alleyways"

Show me your alleyways. Wikipedia has a definition of the term, first recorded use of the term was from 1788. Often defined to be a narrow pathway between buildings, can be pedestrian only or vehicles as well.

Sadly, the use of big box stores in retail is making these harder to find - so get them while you can.

When i get back home, i'll show you one or two of my own. Sadly, i will be judging and not participating . I'm going to love to see your interpretation of the theme.


The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Indoor alleyway... It was dark but very colorful. This shot turned out despite being hand-held at 1/25 sec.

A very personal alley between my upstairs and my downstairs.
