beautiful structures and reflections;) Wonderful! I am very happy to have discovered your blog;)
ReplyDeleteThe architecture is remarkable. When I was there it was almost all one story, sometimes, two, hut like structures. Businesses in the ground floors. Some department stores remained throughout the war and one big old bank building and the Postal employees insurance building. Nice blog
