I love this!!! I thought the picture on the wall was hilarious. I wonder how Grant Wood might have reacted...

Good one! Dourbalister, well done!

Several years ago (more like 20 years ago) my wife and I stayed at the Hotel Whitcomb for a few days. As I recall the Hotel Whitcomb is very close to City Hall. It seems to me that Hotel would be a great building to photograph for this thread. Hint, hint!

All the best,
Mike

Thank you, @Yokosuka_Mike! I took the photo from Davies Symphony Hall, which is kitty-corner to City Hall. I hadn't heard of the hotel, but I saw on Google Maps that it's still there, just a few blocks away.

The 1932 Shell Haus here in Berlin is one of my favourite buildings, it's wavy travertine-clad facade allows for some fun perspectives.

I love the fact that Goss' Air Taxi services have a bicycle service presumably as back up. :^)

What are those white-banded things?

I’m a city-boy: all I know are cats, dogs, and birds.
