The day seems to be "bleeding" out from the llight at the end of the alley. Very nice.

Looks like a dark and mysterious place. Love how you've processed this.

marvelous and moody -- makes me philosophize on the manifest destiny or urbanity... paved sidewalks and manicured lawns, pruned bushes and trimmed trees... nature as man intended (!) a beautiful moment here -- love the small puddle of water.

@dj.tigersprout: interesting thoughts dj. this place always strikes me as lost in time.

I'm expecting an old Dodge to turn in and zoom past any minute, good setting for a thriller movie.

@Observing: it's true. it's really only the cars that give any visual sense of the date around this area.
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Dark and mysterious like what Marcie says. Also, cinematic. Something ominous is about to happen? Nice shot.

@Howard F.: thanks howard. my girlfriend grew up here. she says they sarcastically call atchison "action" because nothing ever happens here!
@Ana Lúcia: thanks very much!

Intriguing composition. I like how the reflected water stops just short of the edge, which makes it all the more interesting.
