Thank you both for your comments. I had just missed a light on in the window of the small building, the old man who lives mostly on charitable donations had just come outside. We were on the way home, I brought my gear because the light was so great, my wife spoke to the old man while I had to deal with 3 young street cats, one was standing up with his paws around the tripod leg and the others were insisting I pet them. Intriguing to say the least. I may go back to catch the light in the window and maybe smoke from the coal stove coming out of the stove pipe.
Thomas, agreed. While I am not much for posing in shots, if my wife could have convinced him to stand by the door I would have been happy to have him do it. Unfortunately he preferred not to.
