Very nice series. I like the one of the people looking out the front of the trolley.I was wondering how it would looked cropped with those riders being the main focus of the photo.--charliezap

Good shots from my hometown. Hope you've enjıoyed your stay. Two remarks; The horizon is not straight in the first one and a fill light would have given quite different look to the last one (Harem room)

A terrific series - the trolly shot (original) in particular takes my eye.

Thanks for the comments, I'll have to fix that horizon. I agree that a fill light would give a different look to the harem shot - I liked the darkness - added to the atmosphere for me. But then, I'm not a fan of using flash in general.
