A back alley behind a strip of restaurants and clothing stores.
There are gruesome tales about how people were murdered right here.
Which is totally brutal.
It always looks cool there at night, so I took a shot (like 5 years ago).
I miss cities.

A wonderful shot. You have certainly captured 'the other side' of any city in the world. I have several similar shots where the darker side of city is so often just a few steps away from the beauty and glamour. This shot is extremely atmospheric and when taking these types of shots, in my case, there is always a little discomfort that the people who inhabit these areas may not appreciate your attention, and I usually take them very quickly! You have certainly captured a thought provoking shot and I applaud you. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Indeed! :D Also smells amazing because it's an alley right behind a row of really awesome local restaurants.

It was actually this green, I did very little to manipulate it, maybe bumped the contrasts and such.

There's a mysterious feel about it. I've never had the courage to actually walk down that path, not even in daylight :B
