Country Road

This alley was near 23rd and Inverness near Robson Park.  I came across it and felt like I was transported down a country road with it's communal fruit trees and wisteria spilling over the fence.

Blood Alley - Kolby Harris

This photo was taken of Blood Alley in Gas Town just off Water Street in Vancouver BC.
I was playing around with my Holga when I saw this sign and couldn't believe there was a street in Vancouver called Blood Alley.

Crystal is unpolished and natural, making each piece unique. Citrine is heated amethyst, gaining its beautiful colour from being cooked in the crust of the earth. Natural and organic, this crystal is silver plated, unique, and substantial. Citrine is the traditional birthstone of November. Citrine is also believed to be a cleaner and regenerator...just what everyone needs for the New Year!
