The light from the other side
By now, I am sure that everyone knows that I think alleys are just a great place to look for photographic opportunities.
When I was in Chicago, walking up (I think it was “up”) Michigan Avenue (unless it was another street), I saw this fantastic scene: an alley that was below street level, that curved away from me, but toward the light.
I wanted to follow it.

If you look closely, you may recognize the statue from this post. Obviously the columns are made from a more permanent stone than that dissolving angel.

An alley. Again. Of course.
It’s been a long time since I posted a shot from an alley.
If you think between May 9 and May 15 qualifies as “a long time.”
But, anyway, here’s an alley in the Loop, in Chicago. As alleys go, this is quite tidy.

Cubs fans in suits. And hats.
We rode the Red Line to take in a baseball game at Wrigley Field. And saw these three men in the station; their business suits and those goofy hats caught my attention and I played a round of the game I like to call “Well, I wouldn’t have worn THAT.”
Then we went to our seats at one of the Wrigley rooftops. And who shows up?
The same guys.

People? Again?
Honestly, this has me a little worried. First there was this shot, and then this one. Even yesterday’s alley had a person in it. And now, again with the people.
After all these years of people-free blogging, this is an unexpected departure from my normal shots. I can’t explain it. And you know what else? I’ve even got a few more shots with people….
