a shame people only think of money money money and build their great old cities full of modern non-architecture Great buildings across the street wonderful old survivor on this side and than the rubbish from the 20th century when beauty seems to be forgotten i just thought about it under the shower this morning.. strange.. but that is how my brain works :D

I love the old and the new. I enjoy the majestic Gothic look and the symmetry of the modern style. The light and shade make this an interesting shot but I would love to see the old building across the street bathed in the glow of a sunset.
