A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words (Or, Exactly Fifty): The Snakebitten Bus Stop

What I see: a woman with a backpack, her head down as if she is looking at her phone or sleeping, with a backpack and another bag. I assume she is a traveler, and I think this might be a bus station ... but the local gangs are likely also active in the area because of the big "C-Bra" tag.

What I feel: it is broad daylight, but I have the feeling that would not be a good place to be at night for her or anyone else.

She did not know where she was.
That could not be fixed by a Google map.
However, at midday, the significance of the tags behind her held no power.
The area had been cleansed of the latest blood.
The sign ironically indicated: by sunset, turn around and get far away!

I hope too she's gone before the night falls or better the clock strikes six times. It's definitely not the best neighbourhood.

That should be a wrong place to be, she should have known better except of course if she's a stranger.

She's a traveler, so she doesn't know ... so often we are in situations we don't know about because we are strangers ... let's hope that bus comes soon!

Thanks for reading!

I bet she wouldn't wanna be stranded in a neighborhood as this, she ought to be cautious and act quickly

One look at the signs and symbols on the street corner sheds some light on dangerous aspect of the area. However, some circumstances place individuals in that environment. Hopefully, the lady will move on to her final destination with no harm coming to her.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting, you saw well just that she should get to her destination before is too late to save her some trouble.
