    When I saw ‘Rua de…’ on the thumbnail I already knew it had to be Macau! But this is very interesting with the tiles! (I’m also pretty sure – without checking – the third character is the one for ‘lu’…) Love the grime and finger marks in it. :) Fave – for several reasons!

    (In Beijing I started halfheartedly shooting different types of street name signs but didn’t have enough time to make a real series of it – maybe next time!)

  • Thanks, Marjolein. Glad you like it! And yes, “lu” it is. Thank you for the favorite!
