Today I’m sharing a couple of shots of Fan Tan Alley in Victoria, B.C. Located in Victoria’s Chinatown, it was once a gambling district with shops and opium dens. Although it widens in the middle, at its narrowest point it is only 35 inches (.9 metres) wide.
As we left the alley some young people were filming a movie.
Is street photography your new calling?
Love that top photo with the bright spots of colour and the vertical lines. The black coated pedestrian on the edge, looking forward really adds to the whole composition.
Excellent photos of an intriquing place ~ xxx
One could write a mystery story from those photos – super!!
I like that man’s hat in the first photo.
There’s barely enough room to pass – and is that a gate with a lock on it?
Intriguing. I love the element of mystery that people in alleyways seem to suggest.
PS. Kay, I, too, do NOT have an iphone, but I’m leaning . . .I’m leaning!! The monthly charges and data charge are holding me back. You will LOVE the Chicken Salsa soup; do not forget to top the bowls with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream! Bon Apétit
Aargh! Proofread!! Bon Appétit!!
Kay, your top photo is a wonderfully strong composition. Good job!
Great setting for a thrilling scene! 🙂
You caught me by surprise! These are such different photos than what you usually post. But I love ’em. Great sense of eerie mystery and with good reason given the background of the area and this narrow space!
