This piece of urban art, in an alley or course, grabbed my attention. As I was composing a car almost ran me down because nobody sticks around in alleys-except for us crazy photographers. No damage done but I need to be more aware of the 'other' guy.
Glad you survived and have a nice shot to show for it. I pass up a lot of shots I'd like to take because I can't figure out a way to get off the road safely to take them. One of the downsides of going everywhere by car. You get to see a lot but often not to photograph it.
@lsquared Thank you- This city has a lot of art hidden away- I think that it might be a mission to find it. @pasttheirprime Thank you, I need to (begin again) compose in B&W. I forgot how much fun it is to think in contrasts. @gardencat Appreciate it a great deal. I am finally feeling like I need to walk the alleys and look for the less touristy things. @gardencat I totally agree with you about stopping to get a shot. Downtown Flagstaff is a parking nightmare- no different really than any other city - I guess that I need to work on my frustration point for finding a spot. Why they can't have a dedicated spot for me is beyond me at times :) @susale Thank you very much, there is a cross culture here in Flagstaff- the hippies and the conformists against the newer hip ones but, we all fight city hall. @graemestevens Thank you, alleys are fairly interesting places -at least in the day time-
@rieva Thank you. @octogenarian Really appreciate the fav. I liked his glazed over look-not sure about the horn. @maskerade Thank you, glad that I was set for B&W that day.
@stephanies I apologize greatly for not responding to your comment until now- I have no excuse but an very grateful that you liked this and I only wonder down alleys that have light at both ends.
@frappa77 Alley art here in Flag (locals call it that) is in so many areas. I am still exploring downtown and just found another one a couple of days ago. My adventure continues.
