The walls may not talk, but your image does. Holy Cow ... that is more than 200 years older than Canada ! My thought is the same as yours, for centuries, people have used that street ... wow ... And a very beautiful image, great angle, depth and the darker colour gives it a sense of mystery ... well done CM.
