One of our local hidden gems

 

1. BRAVO!!! Drew. Beautiful. You’ve outdone yourself.
   I love older buildings.  I don’t understand what went wrong in the world of modern architecture. Building here in an ancient cathedral city for example, look like unimaginative shit. Pardon the bad language but really.  Cement boxes set among grand bldgs. No thought of surroundings. London no different.  There doesn’t seem to be the grandeur. Or even grand in simplicity that’s warm and pleasing to the eye. Just lumps with windows. I think London’s skyline for example, has been raped.

   I don’t know if they still do, but the French to their credit limited the height of newer buildings in Paris. On the other hand they allowed bldgs. called art to be constructed that can’t touch ancient Rome or Greece.
