PHOTO-OP ALLEY

We live in a photo-op city and its an interesting coincidence that the back street alley across from us has a 19th century bridge that makes for an extremely popular photo shoot location.  I rarely walk by without some picture taking activity going on. Here are a first and a last photo-op sandwich with a few other recent items thrown in,

of course, the wealth of backgrounds works for professional shoots as well...
