Sign Challenge..........Back Alleys

Decided to take a picture of an alleyway. This particular one is in the warehouse district in downtown Edmonton. Even though the buildings are no longer used as warehouses they still serve a purpose. The first one is used by Weight Watchers, the next one is now used as condos if you take a good look you can see the balconies. The far one has an old painted sign, you can see just a little of it. It is the old Great West Saddlery Building which today has shops and offices in it.
This is the alley of the same area that I featured in my photo from July 19th
Enjoy and I trust you have a great wekend

The "new" and the "old" . . love the contrast! Great shot! You have a great week-end too.

[Anne ❀]

Very cool shot and info. It's great that the buildings are occupied and maintained.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot. This would be good for the weekly theme contest. You just need to tag it.

[Michael Elliott]

Nice POV and great for the theme.

Fabulous alleyway

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Another nice shot- this one feels industrial even though it might not be used for that anymore.

I Love the faded paint advertisements on brick. I just love them and what a wonderful theme shot!

i've often seen the front view of that street but never the alleyway! very neat looking shot!

[Dave Schofield]

I love old painted signs on buildings there's a great one near me I'll have to get, and a bit of a one on my Salford pub pic.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

@bkbinthecity For the weekly theme it needs to be tagged
theme-avenues. That's the only way it will be with the pictures in the contest. Hope this helps.

[summerfield]

great signs and i'm glad the building owners have the sense to not remove them. i think these old signs lend class and a sense of history in a building. wonderful shot.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield Thanks. I am glad to and there are actually quite a few of them in Edmonton

[bkb in the city]

@chewyteeth Glad you like it. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

[bkb in the city]

[Alta D©]

Nice find! This is pre-billboard advertising. Cool!

[bkb in the city]

[Maaikel]
