down the ally

Directs the eye as it takes a trip down the road and around the distant corner. This is a feat not easily accomplished. The street, crucially, had to be empty, and the POV (hard up against the building on the left) carefully selected.

It works....with or without a "figure"

Beautiful architecture, I love brickwork except when having to route out and re-point it!

So much of this has gone in Belfast, replaced by characterless generic buildings with plastic cars outside.

Liked button pressed!

Lovely POV and works well in b&w

Thanks for the comments i had to wait for a empty street but it was worth the wait

Very impressive work, makes you wonder how those Chimneys stay put!

Nice and mournful !

Pointed with lime mortar Maria, much more of a glue than modern cement mortar, especially the ready mixed slow cure mortars! The modern NHL lime mortar is brilliant stuff and doesn't attack human skin. It also looks much better than cement mortar. The worst scenario is when old brick is repointed with cement mortar which destroys the old brick, however enough building science, but just keep that in mind if you have repointing work... Nothing but idiots and cowboys out there who don't care!!!!
