Thanks Shu. This was actually just down the street from the apartment we rented for the week. Such an interesting neighborhood. I felt pretty safe there- even walking around at 3AM. Doing so didn't help my jetlag the next day though :-)
An alleyway like this always holds so much mystery for me! There is darkness at the end, but I will only walk where the light is and I'm positive the "x" is some sort of omen! LOL Nice shot! shu
