I know, I know.
I found this photograph online some time ago and have been using it as the wallpaper on my desktop ever since.
(I can’t remember where I found it so apologies to any owners, etc.)
It’s just fantastic though isn’t it, how many stories can you tell in an alley like this?
Though it’s worth pointing out that the light at the end of this proverbial tunnel leads not to a heavenly afterlife but to a bookshop,
. . . much better don’t you think.
A Stain on Silence 
Looking again at this post I managed to track down the photographer. This shot was taken by Frank Oscar Larson who specialised in photographing New York during the 1940’s and 50’s. Websites worth checking out are:

They’re great photographs and almost come with their own subconscious soundtrack, a lonely horn or a slow, sad saxaphone
