I took these two photos in the same street, just a few meters apart, in Sydney, not far from the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which I photographed recently. Such a contrast between the dark and the light, the gritty and the pretty.
We often see what we want to see.

Thanks Lois. I was walking along the street to get to the bridge and was happily surprised to see this little alcove.

Love the gritty (and the pretty) but the black and white steals the show for me.

A great pairing. The gritty is spectacular, that lovely centred staircase, the arch, the brickwork: immaculately gritty!!!
