I like this. Such paths always lead us to a point of interest.

Thank you all so much. Always great to have such positive comments which mean a lot. Carole, yes I do remember the song. Hadn’t thought of it before, but now of course I can’t get it out of my head!

Great stuff. Narrow alleys is my passion to photograph. Not skilled enough to paint them though!
