A tale of two alleys
I was going through my old photos to see if I could find something shadowy for the Steemit Photo Challenge, and, of course, I didn't, but I did find these two 30-year-old photos of alleyways in the ancient town of Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Both alleys lead to the Oude Gracht, which is full of shops and renovated fronts, but 30 years ago, things immediately behind the Oude Gracht looked rather less well maintained. You could get a glimpse of what things were like outside of the shopping crowds.
From the outside looking in at people shopping:
From the inside looking out at a man at work:
There are plenty of shadows and shades in the photos, but I don't think they qualify for the photo challenge. Still, I'm glad I found them again. Both photos were taken with a Praktica B200 on Ilford FP4+ film and processed from the negative film scanned at 4000dpi.
