The delightful soft afternoon light of 7 February 2008 finds outbound tram 929 rolling along Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. Blimey there'a a new SV6 Holden Ute in the same pic!

A walk in the beautiful centre of this seaside town in north west England. You can see that there was confidence and money well spent in Victorian times. It is visible in the investment that was made in creating beautiful buildings and interesting architecture, as well as lovely open space.

people are scared, parents worry, not without cause, the news is not good...

To see children playing outside, in the city, is a rare sight now! The streets have gone silent.

Sometimes you get lucky, you'll hear the laughter or tears that come with the joys of having fun with your neighbours instead of just with your brothers and sisters.

I've often observed these kids from the studio, they are well behaved, somehow they seem to have a preference for that ONE derelict backyard, I wonder what the attraction is?

It's not easy growing up these days, it's not easy growing up in the city these days...

I decided to start yet another series, I find it interesting, it will be ongoing for some time I suspect, lol.

Thanx for your visit and comments, always appreciated, M, (*_*)

Cotonou is the largest city in Benin. The centre of Cotonou has some modern highrises that are a contrast to the traditional African architecture we visited. Our tour leader mentioned that we had some extra time and took us to an enjoyable crafts market - Centre de Promotion de l'Artisanat.
