Loughborough Backstreets ~ 8

The weather has been dark, wet and gloomy here virtually all day.

Sam, Ben and I enjoyed a lovely lunch at my in-laws earlier, and popped through Loughborough on the way to get today's shot.

I've had my eye on this as a location for a week or so, but there is usually a car or van parked in front of it.

Aladdin's Cave is a second hand shop on Bromhead Street, a side street on the eastern side of the town.

[Pat Knowles]

A wonderful place to mooch about I expect....you were fed by the inlaws...hope you are managing your house wifely duties Sean!!

[Gayanne Campbell]

Sounds like Aladdin's Cave would be a fun place to explore. Might be a treasure or two to be found. Wonderful capture and processing.

This place looks magical ;)

[Rachel Withey]

Very cool. Nice lines in this

[Cazla]

Very well composed, surprised your not taking these with the fuji?

[Sean O'Neill]

@cazla It just depends what I have to hand, and today the versatility of a wide angle zoom was what was needed as I went into Loughborough without a definite shot in mind..

[Britt Nhi Sarah]

Pretty much perfect. Compostion - with the stones and the grate. Simple yet intricate. Major fav.

[Mark Prince]

Lovely B&W , looks like it would be well worth a wander around inside.

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Cool find :)

[Chris]

Love it! Must be viewed large to read what an exciting shop it is. Nice social history project, Sean.

[Ross Walker]

No lamps on the sign... Good find, and I admire your patience to wait for a clear shot.

[Call me Joe]

Great find--love the cool textures!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Really enjoying these architecture shots. You've got a great eye for them.

[Jen Hudson]

Intriguing sign, isn't it great when that parked car is actually not there! Such a great feeling of satisfaction to be able to get the shot.

[Andy Roe]

Opened, no doubt, with the rub of a lamp! good shot!!

[Ruby]

Worth waiting for, great shot
