  2. i laugh! yes, it is a single photograph of a second story shop window with this huge poster of a sailing yacht behind. buildings on the opposite side of the street casting their late afternoon reflections upon the glass. this town being such an eclectic mix, styles from different eras and parts of the world intertwined in the most wondrous loom of reality.

    here is an old post, photographs showing part of the streetscape on the other side - the building with the middle eastern look-alike facade visible. further down next to it is a restaurant with an open thatched roof (its reflection in the left side of the image above).
