A very interesting picture, the architecture to me does not betray a poor homes street. There are old buildings and majestic trees...As photography is a perfect monochrome. VVVVV+

An original travel photo, very well characterized and contextualized and with an excellent toning.

This is a great story telling image. It looks like it could have been taken a very long time ago, with the exception of the one guy using a cell phone as he pedals. ~BV~

Interesting photo.
It looks like those buttresses may have been put up because the building started leaning. In any case, these old buildings don't look like they would do well in an earthquake. Hope they are safe.

In black & white, making it even more depressed. But also, full of incredible details, that add a lot of interest to your photo. V
