The image, taken in the heart of the historic district, portrays a busy street teeming with activity. People of all ages and backgrounds can be seen going about their daily routines, from merchants haggling over goods to children playing in the streets. Amidst the chaos, a solitary policeman stands guard, his steady gaze fixed on the crowd. The rod in his hand, shone brightly in the dimly lit street, casting an eerie yet reassuring glow. 3.
