People can be seen strolling along the pavement, going about their daily routines or perhaps indulging in some retail therapy at one of the many shops that line the street. The presence of an inn adds to the sense of community as locals gather for socializing and relaxation. Mason's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architecture but also how it harmoniously blends with its surroundings.
