    A great shot of this line of people. They looks so small compared to the structures.

    Some of your photos interest me because they are of a place I am unlikely ever to visit in real life, some because they are worth looking at in themselves. This is in the later group. Whether one knows where it is or what's happening - or not - it's impressive. I could live with this.

    nice capture of the bird (gull?) who appears to be headed into the brick wall! interesting to see how buildings and walls were built and rebuilt/repaired over time.
