    I, too, would have been steered to this port. You know how I love the straight and linear. This shot is fine, and I love the colors. As usual, your words are perfection. Genie

    I guess the red stripe paints the way and the viewer is ultimately funneled to this arched portal. Nice architecture, I feel that I am on the chute that leads to the street outside…

    I would be tempted to see where that alley goes. 🙂

    I love corners that are at odd angles (as in not blind!). they make me want to peek around them.

    Picturesque narrow and steep street. I like the red and the complimentary green. I also admire the modest pastels over the arch. It take guts to paint pastel colours, hoping one will be seen, even though the work is hardily noticeable.
    Thanks for sharing your wonderful red ribbon poem.
    I picture you with all shades of red in a thick, dark and curly hair.
    Great.

    hmmm…. it would be hard work steering through that narrow strip without scrapping a little of the wall.

    It may be a place straight and narrow, but that arched passageway is what makes the shot, I think!

    Your poetry is just always perfect for each photo you share! And in answer to your question about whether I found everything at one garage sale, the answer is that I had to drive to 14 different sales to find it all. Sometimes it seems it’s not worth it, with all of the gas I use!
    Happy REDnesday,

    No wonder they say love is blind.

    You didn’t notice the paints that were chipped off.

    Thanks for the Red Ribbons poem you left on my blog. I love it. I also love your photo above. Very intriguing. I want to know what’s on the other side of that arch.
