Orange.

One of the more interesting back streets in Bo'ness Cumbria.
Years ago there was a little toy shop half way down this alley way on the left. When our kids were little & we had the rare day off we used to take them in there to have a little spend of their pocket money. The same shop is a rather nice gift shop now called Love the Lakes.

This little alley is very busy in high season!

Three good things:
Technology
1. Cricket stumps that light up when hit by the ball.
2. Planes that fly by the power of solar.
3. Spinal Repair Damage.
4. I forgot I have a fourth good thing.....I emulsioned a bathroom before lunch!

[Pat Knowles]

@claireuk It is a lovely shop......everytime I go I vow to go back for Christmas presents & last time I did!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl orange is very dominant Beryl isn't it......I think they were brave painting it that colour but it does work!

[Pat Knowles]

@thresheg Thank you too for your continued comments Graham.

[Judith Greenwood]

Fav for me - and not just for the bike!!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg ooh thank you Judith...of course we are all programmed to think of you everytime we see a bike!

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice shot; not only orange but also its complement, blue.

[Bep]

Nice street view!

[Hazel]

A lovely view of this characterful alleyway - l'Occitane certainly makes a statement here!

[julia]

This looks like a great lane to poke around... nice shot.. I would be drawn to the L'Occitaine shop...

[Rob Wareham]

Love this. The orange shop is a real eye catcher there are also some nice colours up the street. Loads of details to pick out.

[Sarah Bremner]

You just don't get interesting streets like this in new build parts of the country!!! And all built with love, care and no technology!
Love this photo!

[Maggiemae]

Charming street! Looks like it has lights across to twinkle at night too! Typically English and delightful to see. Poor old England - cricket is not a good word to mention!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae They were useless maggiemae...back to the drawing board!

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 Technology is OK in its place Sallie....I love the older narrower streets...thank you!

[Pat Knowles]

@barrowlane Thank Rob....I like the way the Orange matched the lit lamp....you do y notice these things at the time!

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro Lots of little shops to visit.....all sorts of lovely things in them too!

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze Yes it does Hazel......they seem to be painting their shops in very strong colours! Thank you.

[Pat Knowles]

@gijsje Thank you very much Bep.

[Pat Knowles]

@wordpixman Yes quite pleasing colours I agree Arthur! Thank you!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Btw a Joules shop on the right hand corner & a Fat face on the left just before the L'Occcitaine shop!

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat It's practically Cambridge!

[Kim Crisp]

Great street shot Pat

[Denise fuller]

[Pat Knowles]

@kimcrisp @denisefuller Thank you Kim & Denise.....your comments are so welcome!

[Anita Russell]

Enchanting street

[Teresa]

Oh, so quaint, and other than the eye-catching orange, I love the depth in this shot.

[Pat Knowles]

@neatz @wordsmith Thank you both....it is a nice street & a stones throw from Lake Windermere too.

[Phil Howcroft]

i love the shop front and a nice touch with the matching light further down on the same side

[Lois]

Love this!

[Barbara Paquette]

Oh I love L'Occitane lotions...a bit pricey but they smell so divine! Wouldn't need an orange store front to draw me in!!

[Julia]

Love the orange!

[Peggy Sirk]

So charming, Pat! Love this alley of shops. L'Occitane is making the most of color to draw attention. Love your four good things too. Technology is amazing.

[Jill Peck Vona]

great pop of orange plus the bike. how funny is that to have them both the orange.

[Sue Wilde]

I love that pop of orange

[Delia]

That shop certainly likes to announce its presence in the street

[Gillian]

Love that pop of orange. What a lovely little street - I'd love to wander down it!

[Margaret Obey]

I love the pops of colour from along the alley. The orange is riveting but I prefer the lilac of Love the Lakes. This is the kind of alley I love, and my husband doesn't! I wonder why!

[Margo]

Love the orange shop A Fav

[Courtney]

this is super cute, love it!

[Maggie]

Brilliant street shot, Pat. Instant fav.

This looks like a lovely place to go shopping - much more interesting than the modern shopping malls.
