Nice photo of the woman with the umbrella. The Dumpling hours sign is that for an eatery or a bar.

Love this shot—something about the umbrella adds a quiet charm to the scene. You always capture these little everyday moments so well. I just shared a new post. Check it out. Thank you.

Grace Brothers

A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
