I DO hope that such streets will be preserved and not fall under the bulldozers and cranes! There's such a building craze now in China....and part of the beauty of old will be a victim.

@Japanalia: Indeed!...Actually, I'm not from this country, my hometown is Hong Kong.
When I realize such as beautiful place, I decide use camera record down.
And, try do the best within my life. :)

Very pretty shot. I like how you've muted the tones, which gives it a kind of timeless quality. Thanks for sharing.

Strong contrast, and desaturation. What a great image. The technical aspects are beautiful, and the subject desirable. Beautiful. Your gallery amazes me.
