Violeta’s Guardian

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery74 Comments

In the narrowest of alleys is a testament of love. This shot is captured using the IPhone Pano setting sideways.

Clandestinos had a baby. The baby has a Guardian, a very scary and handsome one at that.

Nonetheless, the alley is almost impossible to shoot in, with my IPhone. So, I show it in dribs and drabs, beginning with the title above.

First up is this stunning violet coloured flower. Then some sweet flower buds.

The violet below is up so high I was only able to shoot this one pic.

This is the most I could capture in 1 shot, even using the Pano setting.

At the top end of the alley is the Guardian with a golden orange flower beneath.

No matter where I stood, this is the tallest I could capture. Yet, there is more on top of the purple mountains. Then I thought, why not use Pano sideways?

That is what resulted in the opening pic. It was difficult, as I had to use an upward arcing movement, which is a foreign sensation of movement.

Many times I began, then my wrist/fingers reacted oddly. This resulted in a split exposure.  (above and below)

Muisca Art

I have posted Muisca’s art before. Here are 2 pieces, in 1 post.

It’s always colourful, imaginative and sweet.

This first one is from Feel Good Lane.

Don’t get dizzy! I rotated this one, for fun.

This next garage door is from a bit earlier in the year.

Star Birds

These colourful birds are stars in Feel Good Lane.

The crazy thing is that the first bird on the left, as you look at this pic, looks like a primate to me.  Granted, there’s a beak coming out of the head, but I figured there was a bird behind it thatI couldn’t see.

When I saw the pics, I figured it out.

Kids’ Park in Feel Good Lane

On By ResaIn Feel Good Lane48 Comments

There is a Kids’ park set back in the middle of Feel Good Lane.

Care has been taken to paint kid friendly images on the garages along the park side.

This is actually the first garage, but the above painting is my fave.

Luv the Hallowe’en images!

Skating with Uber 5000

On By ResaIn Uber 500059 Comments

The Toronto Maple Leafs are 2nd in their division. YAY!

Uber’s Chicks are getting in on the action.

This mural was on a south facing wall in Graffiti Alley.

Anyway, turn the corner of the building to the east side, and there is a full out skating mural, with all of Uber’s pals.

I originally viewed the unfinished mural and met Uber 5000. I did a meantime post titled ⭐️I Met Uber 5000 and He Took Me Up in His Scissor Lift ⭐️

Above is the lift on the day I went in it, massive thrill! There are black lights installed over the mural, which come on at night.

I still haven’t been back to that part of the city at night to see the mural in all of its glory. I’m there often in the daytime.

All in all, a very fun and wonderful work by Uber 5000.

Below: Uber 5000 at work.

There’s even a Zamboni Chick keeping the ice smooth.

The colours in the word “Toronto” must look amazing at night under the black lights.

🌟Many Thank you’s to Uber 5000 for this marvellous mural, and for making me feel like $1,000,000! 🌟

This Winter Feels Like a Frozen Hell

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery82 Comments

This is not the prettiest street art I have ever found.

I’ve put off posting it, for a couple of years.

Today it seems to express, in a way, my wonder at what we all did wrong to deserve this uber arctic torture.

-35 in this afternoon, and I had to hang onto a street sign for about 5 minutes. Otherwise, who knows where the wind would have taken me. The wind is blowing through my home at night. (nothing can stop it)
