Side street in Macau


I took this photograph to show how some of the streets and byways in Macau resemble their counterparts in certain Mediterranean cities. In Athens, for example, I have been on a street leading up to Lykavittos Hill that looks a lot like this one, down to the flowerpots on the balconies.

The balconies are interesting in themselves, because of their various shapes. The need for space as well as security dictates the design of the balcony railings and guards. Only the green-painted one on the third floor to the right is unconfined.

Note the doggie WC on the left just in front of the parked scooter.
