“But a dream is not reality.”
~Alice
“Who’s to say which is which?”
~The Mad Hatter
[fr. Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland']
* -------------------------- *
Brighton is a coastal city in the South Downs of England, a chalk range that runs along the south of England, down to the shore culminating in grand cliffs, some 530 ft ( 160 m) above the water.
Visitors explore many attractions of Brighton, such as the Royal Pavilion, the pier, the beachfront and its historic resort hotels, the cliffs to the east at Beachy Head ... and so much more.
Since our time is often precious during our trips here, habitually we tend to visit and revisit our favourite haunts. On one visit when we were exploring some new areas, we found a vibrant area of Brighton with several colourful wall murals.
This building was unique in that it was not so vivacious; it was, actually, a dull grey building with a To Let sign .... that I livened up .... considerably. It was perked up with layers upon layers of textures, colours and lighting effects .... befitting of a visit to Wonderland. Please enjoy yours :)

Revisiting this fave! I could stay here all night......but better get to bed and dreams. Goodnight Alice...and the white rabbit :)) We're all mad here...in Wonderland.

Oooh Connie, Awesome find, love what you have captured, the lighting and color are dynamic! L&F
Connie Handscomb replied:
Oh, sweet you! Thank you! To clarify, though, the find wasn’t awesome at all — just a dull grey building captured on a dull grey cement sidewalk. BUT, the dull grey building had a colourful sign, & I took off with it — layers & layers of textures, lights, & effects = huge photo manipulation. Which, Mary Lou, paid off since I am receiving your enthusiastic appreciation. And I’m truly grateful to you for it :) 🍃
