One of the alleys that run parallel to the streets of Richmond. I did a whole series on the hidden treasures found here, starting with http://365project.org/allie912/whatintheworld/2010-04-26.
Walking through the alleys can be very peaceful except when all the watchdogs are patrolling their turf. Then you are serenaded from one back yard to the next without missing a beat.
Great shot of this alley , kind of has its own charm. We used to be able to track bad guys by where the dogs were barking in the back yards, kind of like an early GPS. LOL
