Photographer's Note

The old Padaria Popular ("People's Bakery") in downtown Mindelo, São Vicente Island, Cape Verde, it's maybe doomed. The building was a nice piece of colonial folk architecture, but it's not well maintained nowadays. Perhaps because the business isn't so rewarding nowadays; the door is just half open. The customers have moved to newer, fancy bakeries and supermarkets all over the city, like Padaria Francesa ("French Bakery", in workshop #2).
The gray blocks here at the sides are new constructions.
In the workshop #1 you can see a bigger detail of the very old sign of the bakery, over the door.
The workshop #3 is a tighter cropping, as suggested by David (dsidwell).
