Sprinkler Stop Valve Inside

Exploring the alleys around Bourke St Mall, looking for art, colour and food, I came across this little gem with a nice bit of sunlight managing to hit the wall deep in a narrow laneway only 2 metres wide.

Urban Melbourne: Laneways, Decay & Colour

Across the road from where I now work are many laneways leading into and around Melbourne’s Chinatown District. While the street facade can be newer and full of shops, the side lanes leading to the backstreets can expose the history and patina of the older buildings. This is the historical, original side of Melbourne I quite enjoy trying to find. My lunchtimes are now spent exploring the laneways and looking above the street level. While there are not many birds, there are many other interesting subjects to find.
