"Down the Alley"

Hi everyone, To kick-start this blog, I thought i'd start with a framed picture of "Down the Alley."

This picture was taken in the daylight (about 3 pm) in Wapping. The picture was converted via Gimp and made with a fog / smog effect. I wanted to create the impression of smog travelling through the arches.

As Wapping was one of the old Victorian backstreet haunts and has a strong maritime tradition, I really wanted to recreate the atmosphere one would associate with that time. More pieces in and around Wapping can be found at my website: Richard Ray --- Art and Photography. Please take a look.
