I come here almost every day. At first, it was to capture the vibrant colours, particularly the deep reds. Now as my interest in black and white photography grows I tend to search more for patterns of light and shadow.

I watched this scene for a while. The guy on the street would lift up a heavy box and then a detached head and a pair of arms would appear out of the shadow to receive it. I found it fascinating.

I love this statue in the doorway of a shop.

The lighting conditions in Fan Tan Alley are always difficult. It's very narrow and has harsh shadows. I keep trying to capture it well but I don't know if I'm getting anywhere.

Here's another attempt to capture Fan Tan Alley. It's crowded in places, and although most people were wearing masks I didn't want to linger very long.

A mural on the street. You sometimes get the feeling you can walk right into that shop.

That's my post for today. I hope you enjoyed the photos. Now I'm heading back down there with my camera to try again!


All photos were taken by me, keithboone@keithboone, for the #Monomad Photography Challenge by brumest@brumest and monochromes@monochromes. Thanks very much for visiting!
