Description
Yes, I know, if it has a curb and a sidewalk, it's not technically an alley, but I had to call it something. Besides, this stretch of Sacramento Avenue near Lawrence and the Chicago River, is so narrow it might as well be an alley.
Photographed in the Albany Park area of Chicago on February 17, 2011.

What a shot! The POV is what makes this. I'm always amazed when people say Chicago is such a clean city. What parts of the city are they looking at: certainly not the parts where people actually live. I love the colors in this, and I suspect this image has a lot of what is technically known as curb appeal. This is a doozy of a good shot.

Great capture of an urban scene!

I'm sure this is a sad reality in far to many places, even in the parks around where I live people abuse the privilege of use there as well, sad eye opener of reality, an excellent capture!

I can just see you taking this shot!! I didn't know sidewalks and curbs were what change alleys to streets. The things I learn here!!

Corey, looks like you were laying in the street to shoot this. Are you up to this kind of thing already? This is your old ma speaking. It looks cold and wet. Take care of yourself. Love the POV, but take care of your repaired heart please. Love you

Omigosh Corey - you must have been on your stomach! What a great POV of this street (alley) scene! Wonderful, real life image!

I didn't know that about curbs and sidewalks and alleys, either! Two seconds worth of thought makes it obvious, but only because you've pointed it out! :P LOVE the pov! (I'm not worried about you getting down on your belly in a wet gutter ... you seem a bit more practical than that, so I'm thinking you just leaned over, lined up your camera, and shot a few frames!)

HA! I am sure you have a good large display in your camera! What a fun shot-- and yes... even out here in the country you can find a mess. We have a neighbour who didnt move one bit of the mess he got after the storm more than a month ago. Alot of his belongings are spread all over his big garden and up to the road. It looks like a storm had been there... oh...well, there was- LOL !
