The alley...


"...he didn't know the distance from despair to hope,
but he knew that hope didn't sleep in alleys."

- Monarchs and Mendicants


"Hope Didn't Sleep in Alleys"
London, England


I always find it magical to recognize the extraordinary, when others might only see the ordinary. Never underestimate the allure of an alley.  Sometimes hope for a good photograph DOES sleep there.






Here's where I "link up" today

  4. I do like alleys and I think they are wonderful places to admire. I love when I bump into one and see a cat walking around, a single flower pot or a person peeking thru a window. #PhotoFriday
