Gecko Lane

I had reason to hunt through the archives of my blog, all 1847 essays only to discover I had never previously photographed Gecko Lane. Never let it be said I rejected Gecko Lane as unworthy because here it is: It's on the north side of Eaton Street, a main road into Old Town leading to Lower Duval, where the bars are. But Gecko Lane is a whole world away from Rick's and Irish Kevin's and Sloppy Joe's...Usually when I check out these lanes and alleys in Key West I come across funky little bits of art work or designs, the sort of thing I would never think to have at my own home. But here I found mostly vegetation.Lots of greenery:Imagine driving this alley in a Jeep, it barely seems wide enough.As far as a place to live this kind of alley might be ideal in the heart of Old Town, yet just off the beaten track. The abundant foliage made up for the lack of artistic knick knacks on Gecko Lane, a quiet corner of Old Town.

The residents of this lane hate your guts now.

Way to go - blowing their cover and all.

Imagine backing the jeep into that tiny spot off that tiny lane too.
