Comment Very interesting picture. It's a shame there's all that rubbish on the bottom left hand corner. I'll reserve my judgment for the moment. – SMasters (talk) 06:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If you are referring to the chairs and tables, those are there as they are normally used during breakfast. If I remember correctly, I saw Mandazi and tea being served/sold early in the morning. --Muhammad(talk) 07:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry, I thought they were rubbish! I'm happy to support this then. – SMasters (talk) 06:44, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Really? All tipped on their sides, and a variety of old tables and rough looking wooden benches... That's a cafe forecourt?!! gazhiley.co.uk 12:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Interesting view! The colorful shop is a nice detail, for example. --KFP (contact | edits) 19:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very interesting and encyclopedic indeed! As a minor side note, maybe the description should mention that the fort is actually somewhat rectangular although the cylindrical projection of the panorama has significantly curved the wall that's nearest to the camera.
