these are some pictures in alleys that i was passing by.

i was passing by a different alley because within a 3 inch border of blackened, rotten, and polluted dirt, this colorful plant (which i have never seen before) was growing between a telephone pole and an abandoned warehouse. it has a stem like a tree's, strong and firm, but it's a flower at the top. it has to put up with tons of carbon monoxide floating around, cars, rats, pollution like none other. i don't know how it can put up with such a harsh environment and come out so beautifully.

(props to J for the resizing factor)

this is in the same alley as the flower. its a macroshot day for me.

here's another one, from an old building chipping off paint. the colors were nice.

walls and bars, alley

maximum security alley window

i got a lot more but i'll spare you all the grief =)
