Hello Luis,
you're right, the light and shadow were hard to cope with - I threw out 
at least 5 alternatives of nearly all shots. But at least the bright and 
cool sunny weather was a change after all the wind rain and snow we had 
recently. Maybe I'll try some b+w conversions too. I think the narrow 
cobblestone streets might work better that way.
Thanks for taking the time to have a look.
Cheers
Douglas
