Two Alleys

In London, and most towns in the UK, you would never walk down an alley. Day or night, really. Unless you know it very well and are possibly armed with a bazooka. Alleys are generally home to perverts, drug users, weirdos... It's not where you want to be! Singapore, however, is a bit different. And one day recently I explored two new alleys.

Alley 1
What and where: A Murakami-esque mysterious lane near my house. I pass it every day, had always wondered what was up there - or where it would lead. 
What was there: Some plants, back doors, storage spaces. It leads nowhere (ending in a small concrete yard). You couldn't fit a car up there, it's just a regular blind alley. But I find it oddly charismatic in its own way! (Click to enlarge pix)

Alley 2
What and where: some place in Kampong Glam in Singapore at about 11.30pm. Just a regular alley, no reason to have been down there before (we hadn't!) 
What was there: This. I love this! Actually it was part of a whole series of art installations in the area that night; but this one was by far my favourite. (What, I hear you cry! - a light / video installation without feedback, or 'difficult' rumblings and scrapings as soundtrack?! Yep.)
