Backalley way of Downtown by bkbinthecity

Backalley way of Downtown

We had time to kill this afternoon so we decided that it would be fun to go and walk some of the stairs leading down into the river valley. However when we got to them we discovered that they were still covered in snow so we just walked around a little bit more.
As we were were walking down one of the sidewalks we passed by this backalley and I decided that I liked what I saw so I took a quick shot and kept on walking as it was a bit on the cold side.
So this was the result which I was happy with
Cool perspective and processing
