Sad to see this traditional lifestyle go away, you have a superb image here to tell the story. V

These dim lights will no longer provide a family with a traditional income and life style. Sad to see as it will become like all the other high rise office buildings and apartments of major cities. Fine camera work with your wonderful 27.
