This shadow is from the wall featured in Pipe to Nowhere, cast on the adjacent building in the very narrow alley leading from Wharf Street towards the blue bridge.
While processing the images I pushed a couple of sliders too far to see what would happen to the shadows. This is what happens – beautiful blues and strong opposing halos [and muddy looking surrounds]
I went with Melinda to Fan Tan Alley in Chinatown, which for me was a bit of a disappointment since there was construction going on and much of it was closed in from above.
And I was on a bit of a jag of looking up at that moment.
However, part of this narrow alley was clear to the sky, and there I found yet another light fixture delegated to keep an eye on us mortals.
This is on the same bit of wall as Alley Views II, located just off Bastion Square in Victoria.
It’s another view from a photo prowl with Melinda, these are recycling bags, with olive oil cans in the one on the left.
I am assuming a restaurant is on the front of this location, though I can’t think which one – though maybe all addresses on this part of Fort Street are restaurants.
The “102” does not help – these buildings are in the 500 block of Fort. Maybe it is a unit number within a single building.
This is yet another view from an alley that leads south off Bastion Square in Victoria.
I like the light fixtures, they seem to be keeping an eye (or two) on the place.
I had this one lined up for publication, but had to edit it since yesterday Melinda posted a different view of the same wall – the upper part with reflections. That made me look at the reflections in this shot a bit more closely. I think the reflected shadow in the door must be from Melinda – its not me since I was holding a camera up to my face at this precise moment. Of course I did not notice, I was too focused on getting my own reflection out of the way. BTW, I like her processing better than mine, though we both did go for monotone, so must be on a similar page.
This shot taken on Wharf Street while exploring Victoria with Melinda Green Harvey.
Wharf Street is quite high above the harbour, so the older waterfront buildings often have two or three stories below street level.
Looking up seems a bit of a theme around this blog these days (look here and here to see what I mean).
This is more from the time I spend showing Melinda around Victoria a few weeks.
Looking up is definitely a useful variation on Melinda’s motto to always look around back.

I think Melinda also took a shot of this abrupt change in masonry, and decoration.
If she did, I will find it interesting to see what she makes of it, mostly because I fear this composition does not quite work.
