Man At The Entrance Of A Lane Thinking

I was walking through the street in Central Jakarta, one of the five cities that make up the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. While walking, I often saw the entrance to the alley. It looked fun to walk down the cluttered alley when I looked inside. But I couldn't tell just by standing at the entrance if the alleyway led somewhere or if it only led to someone's house. As I like to walk through the alley, I have a hard time deciding whether it is safe or not to invade it.

This photo was also the entrance to such an unidentified alley. At the far end of the alley, I could see laundry hanging out to dry and miscellaneous items were placed by the entrance. As I entered, it looked like fun. But there was a man standing there. The man standing in the doorway, holding a piece of wood that had been placed aside, pondering. Maybe he was trying to do some bricolage.

In any case, standing solemnly at the entrance, it was difficult for a passerby to enter. I only took a photo of the man and continued down the main street to the next alley.
