The backs of buildings are often rather interesting, I think. Particularly older building in towns. The rear is where the building lets go a little, revealing something more of its function and, crucially, its character.
This is the first of a triptych that revels in the backs of a small collection of buildings. It was impossible to take in all of the fascinating shapes, textures and details in one go; it was impossible to take one photograph. So I took lots, and intend to distill the photographs into three squares of canvas. This is the rightmost.
It was completed over an extended period, which I regret; I am hoping to do the second (and third) far quicker.
And here are the in-progress shots:
