The back streets can get pretty hectic here within the old city walls of Dubrovnik. At least one can still get a manicure easy enough :)

And the rhythm goes on and on......

Havana is a city of music, as is the whole of Cuba I think. Here the sounds of the Rhumba rings true and clear and nothing puts such musicians off, even the passing of an interesting figure perhaps!

The title says it all. Seen in our city wanderings here. Very close to the monument and church dedicated to Joan-of-arc, who was burned at the stake here. ps... Notice the bike on the fenced balcony! A great place indeed.

This old town sits upon a hill and so there are many streets such as this, making wandering about an arduous process at times. However the reward with such scenes present are evident.

Arched fence!

Taken in the beutiful city of Krakow in Poland in the wonderful old city square. This was in fact an upper entrance to the old 'ClothHall', moments later it was to be fully occupied by a party of schoolchildren. Best viewed full screen. I wish you all, a great weekend,Herb See PiP for my other curved steps

A wander around the city centre of Manchester can lead to all sorts of places. Here we see what at first sight looks like an old mill of sorts but the flower vase and curtains gives the game away. Yes, these are certainly modern converted apartments with views looking on Manchester's China Town. I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb Best viewed full screen.

Up or down Madam?

Are we looking up or down? A super charged lift, whisk these holiday makers to their rooms or reception area in this high-rise hotel here in Fuengirola. These lifts and the large open space area are in fact located inside (not outside) the Hotel Yaramar. To answer my own question - we are looking down!

Mija, pueblo blanco
