It gets so dark here, it could be 5PM and its dark already. Wings noodles was a famous Chinese restaurant that also manufactured fortune cookies and noodles for distribution. They are shuttered now, and the building's ownership is up in the air. The previous shopkeepers wish to make a museum there, which would be good for tourism. And the museum food would be fantastic.

The buildings along main street Chinatown are of all different ages and architecture. The upper floors seem dark, with the occasional light on, perhaps there are apartments up there. The entire ground level are small shops selling art, noodles, souvenirs, and all sorts of things, this part of the street is still very active.

Crescent street has a number of famous pubs, many of which I have been to once or twice. This one had red, blue and green lights decorating its facade, with a multitude of buildings and windows in the background. Its a striking scene in real life, and always busy with people around here. To paint something like this, the colour and light areas need to be done first, then paint around until it fills in. Once the dark sky is complete, the whole scene comes together.
