Twitten

Brighton is full of twittens - dark narrow passageways that run between buildings.

I like the word twitten. They are dark and narrow indeed, well captured.

[Liz Milne]

I've been more used to leafy green twittens when I lived in Surrey :) Love the word in any case.

Very eerie. I have never heard the term twitten before.

An ominous looking alleyway :o

[Jean]

Wonderful pov and leading lines.

[Jennifer Potter]

This is beautiful and moody. I love these types of alley ways. All sorts of photographic potential in the old pathways! Good for portraits, too!

[M Whipple]

Great range of tone. Love all the detail.

[Lesley]

Twitten is a new word to me..the light and shade is wonderful.

[gloria jones]

Great leading line, textures

[Michelle]

There are a lot of these alleys in Brighton but I don't tend to venture down them at night! Thank you for all your kind comments and favs - this photo got a better response than I was expecting!

I hope most of them are as well lit as this one is, because if not, seems like a prescription for trouble.

@ggshearron This is a shortcut to one of the city car parks. Not all are as well lit and, unfortunately, even those that are can still be hotspots for street crime even during daylight hours. This shot was taken from a busy street at the entrance to the alley. I'm not brave or foolhardy enough to venture down them at night.
