The Back Streets of Naples

'I remember the back streets of Naples', to quote the terrible Peter Sarstedt song. Well, the back streets were far more interesting than the front streets, and not far from them either. Most of these images were taken in the 'Spanish Quarter', just off the main drag that was featured in the first Naples post. All the images were shot in the last couple of hours of light, with the little fixed lens Fuji X100vi, which was perfect for the circumstances.

I was fascinated by the little shrines that seemed to be on every other building. I've seen similar things in rural Ireland, but those were quite formulaic. A statue of the Madonna in a little house. The Naples versions were much more personal and quirky.
