The picture at the top was taken by me, and I was inspired to find a similar picture. The one at the bottom was untitled and did not have an artist's name, but the title was available (Brick Alleyway) and was found on fotoblography.com. I think that both pictures share a mutual sense of sudden disappearance, as both alleys are narrowing. They share a discomfort about what might be lying ahead. Light interplay in both pictures is also very similar, given that there is an abundance of light in the foreground, but very limited light in the background.
