Everything looks so clean and the streets shiny. The B&W accentuates the strong lines, the stonework. Very nice, John.

These are fabulous, everything about them from the light to the cobbles.

Nice to look at but I'm afraid my wife in her wheelchair would hate it.

I particularly like the first. Something about the line of the street, the cobblestones, and the metal plate in the ground - lovely!

Jag fastnade för en detalj man kanske inte skulle fastna för....brunnslocket centrerat i fronten. Vilket vackert brunnslock!

As usual, my friend.

Very crisp and interesting photo's. I love the manhole cover in paving directing your eyes toward the buildings. Framed they would be stunning.
