A Leipzig street scene

I shoot a lot of street scenes when I travel, especially in Europe.  Something about them just catches my eye, I guess.  I grabbed this one in Leipzig, Germany on my recent trip there.  It was near sunset so I was out wandering with the camera, and came across an area where there are a lot of cafes.

I liked this scene because of a few things: the blue sign on the right, the Paulaner label on the awnings (which is one of my favorite German beers), the plant pot with a light in it, the architectural details on the buildings, and the small slice of a historic church you can see at the end of the road.  I feel like my eye wanders through the shot and down the street.  It makes me want to walk down that way, which in fact I did after shooting this!
