Thank you for sharing.

And don't forget: Google Street View can be quite a friend for scenes set in very recent times. :)

Thank you Dianne. All you say is common sense obvious and yet we need regular reminding to stop us straying from these basic and helpful concepts and insights.

Good advice to use all the sense, smells are sometimes omitted. Put in the some detailed particulars (e.g. a crumpled tin can catching the light) BUT not all the details or its overwhelming.
