Ominous.

Yes, indeed.  Shinjuku area?  Looks familiar.

Sorry, I only just found this  Dogman.
I love the sentiment, and world weary tone this was written in :) :)

Thanks, Colin.

This seems rather unfair :(
(or maybe this street in Birmingham UK is where the posh people used to live?)

How devilish Ashlandish.

Sure looks like 777 but is 666 in Arabic--6 is ٦, 7 is ٧, according to Wikipedia. Was beside an elevator door in a hotel in Luxor. The American and European tourists seemed fairly amused by it. My brother, his wife, and a friend invited me on a trip to Egypt last June as an introduction to retirement. A wonderful time.

Looks fantastic so long as the image is seen in a warm room.  At that temperature, the LCD on the camera would react slowly, too...
