I have to confess to an unwavering passion for narrow streets. The temptation to go exploring and, inevitably, to get hopelessly lost, is overpowering. This type of street is often laid with cobblestones and not so easy for me this century since wheelchairs do not react kindly to such surfaces and juddering progress is rather painful on my decrepit old body.
The original photograph was charming, if a little on the dark side. It was this darkness that I decided to make a virtue. The title is tongue-in-cheek but the resulting image does look rather like a street that would lead to Roman Polanski’s vampires in The Fearless Vampire Killers, or any vampire film come to that!

Take care and keep laughing!
Something else we have in common – the love of narrow streets and alleyway….I always want to explore, and indeed would be very happy to live in one.
A beautiful design….filled with mystery.
Have a lovely day, and keep smiling:)x

Very atmospheric Sarah, I share your fascination for such things! I’m afraid to say this looks rather like our local village on a Saturday night 😀

I’d be afraid to walk there at night! I’d at least want to bring along a group of loud, boisterous friends with lanterns to chase away anybody lurking in the shadows.

This good look great apart of in all of your art work, in a mystery or gothic book cover. I also love narrow streets. They always hide secrets and mysteries…

Thank you, Marilyn. I might do a companion piece and fill it with daylight and people (no vampires)!

Perfect for a movie set, whether a vampire flick, a Victorian thriller, or a WWII drama.
