Looks like a quaint spot. I guess it is popular. Nice shot.

Great Black and white - I love the action of the people in the scene and the contrast on the building.

This is a very good urban photo with a splendid black and white. Hungry people waits and the photographer doesn't fail :)

A very enjoyable photo, James... lots of activity and things to speculate about... almost "Norman Rockwell"...

Beautiful scene of street, in front of the photo one has to scan all and sundry. The B&W is very well with a contrast which I like ;)
