Downbeat downtown

@Lorraine: Thanks, L! You're the only one who seems to have noticed the words... I'm really glad you did, and thanks a lot for yours. You're also a woman of letters, after all, right?

@Ian Bramham: Thank you, Ian. "Perfect" is a concept I resist believing in, but coming from you it's a perfect compliment. Thanks again.

(If you look carefully, you'll see another lone figure there, right by the one you spotted. So there were three of us, actually.)

@Ondro: I thought so too. Thanks a lot, Ondro.

@eddy: Hey, Eddie, thanks for your comment. As it happens, it is purposefully as dark. Pitch black, they call it, and I happen to love it.

@yiannis krikis: Thanks, Yiannis. "Moody", what a nice thing to say. (I mean it.)

@Reza: Definitely better in B&W than in color. Thanks, Reza!

@Will: Glad you liked it, Will. Really appreciate your comment! Thanks.

@Pedro: Muy amable, Pedro. Esa fue precisamente una de las cosas que me atrajo de la escena.

@Rags: From an architectural point of view, it's very pretty. And quite safe as well if you're walking with soul mates.

@Pedram: Thanks a lot, Pedram! Lovely comment.

@Zing: Completely agree with you on the choice of B&W. Thanks for your nice comment, Zing.

@Inés: Merci, Inés. Ton interprétation de l'image est d'une précision étonnante... C'est ça que j'ai écrit... (Tu lis l'anglais?)

@Lorraine: (I've stopped by and left a mark...)

I only handle Spanish (of course) and English, and I'm a beginner in French... Hey, I'll have you in mind for that pair, it's quite unusual here. Didn't know you were French! How cool is that?

I do know what you mean when you say translations take you out of yourself...

@Sun: Thanks, Sun!
