I’m drawn to these ominous, shady scenes, especially in medieval European cities where they seem to stand outside of time.

I found this mysterious, brooding alley scene after wandering through a dark, narrow passage filled with dodgy tourists gathered around an slick-talking American who was peddling something illegal. I’m not sure what it was (but it’s not hard to guess).

I had no problems and never felt I was going to, but its a reminder to be vigilant when one is out in the evenings in foreign lands.
