In the cities and towns that date to the 1800's (or earlier), there are narrow streets and alleys. Many of the plots of land are narrow and deep, making access to the back of the property difficult without the alleys that run along the backside of the property. The old section of the City of Frederick has a number of alleys, some of them used frequently by travelers. Chapel Alley (above) is one such alley running one-way north. Interestingly, Maxwell Avenue (below) is one block west of Chapel Alley and is one-way south, leaving little distinction between alley and avenue.

I began this blog in 2008 after I retired. My main interest is photography and so most posts will contain photos, along with brief comments or explanations. I participate in several weekly blogs and occasionally post my own recurring themes. Occasionally I throw in comments, kudos or complaints about the world situation. Links to my other two blogs are below the "Disclaimer".

I am retired, married to a smart, talented lady who once thought we computer people were geeks and now is one of us geeks. I have a long time interest in photography. We live in Maryland, about 50 miles from Washington, DC.
My main camera is a Nikon D3100 with two zoom lenses (18-55 and 55-200).
