What drew my eye to this scene was the old clothesline pulley which reminded me of my mom hanging clothes on the line when I was growing up.

I shot this one from a window in Aya Sofia.
Neuer Zollhof at Medienhafen, is a prominent landmark designed by American architect Frank Gehry as part of the redeveloped port of Düsseldorf, Germany.
The building complex consists of three separate buildings (two of which are visble in this photo on the left). Floorplans and facades of all three buildings curve and lean, reason for them being likened to leaning towers. The tallest building is 14 stories high and just under 50 m tall. Each building has a different facade cladding - the outer two in white plaster and red brick respectively; the central building's stainless steel facade (barely visible) reflects material and shapes of its two neighbour buildings.
This house was abandoned when I took this photo. I hear that someone has restored it. I need to get back out that way to see for myself.
The iconic Flatiron Building at the intersection of East 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway.

Picturesque Holašovice (German: Holaschowitz) is a small historic village located in the south of the Czech Republic, 15 km west of České Budějovice and 18 km north of Český Krumlov.
Holašovice has a large number of outstanding 18th- and 19th-century vernacular buildings in a style known as 'South Bohemian folk or rural Baroque', a mixture of Baroque, Rococo and Classicistic building styles. Holašovice preserves a ground plan dating from the Middle Ages. Holašovice is a typical Bohemian village. It consists of 23 brick farmyards, each with their gable end facing a central broad village green, with a fish pond and chapel (built in 1755).
After the displacement of German residents at the end of the Second World War, many farms in the village were deserted and fell into disrepair. Holašovice became a desolate and abandoned place under the Czech post-war Communist regime. It was restored and repopulated from 1990, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. It now has a population of around 140.
Het schilderachtige Holašovice (Duits: Hollschowitz) is een klein historisch dorp in het Tsjechische Zuid-Bohemen.
Het dorp telt slechts 140 inwoners, en ligt 15 km ten westen van České Budějovice en 18 km noordelijk van Český Krumlov.
De eerste vermelding van Holašovice is uit het jaar 1263. Tussen 1520 en 1525 werd Holašovice getroffen door de pest, waarbij slechts 2 inwoners overleefden. In 1945 werd de Duitstalige bevolking uit Holašovice verdreven en verviel het dorp. In 1990 werd een begin gemaakt met het herstel van het oude dorp en sinds 1998 staat het dorp op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.
Het is indrukwekkend dat ondanks latere aanpassingen het middeleeuwse systeem van rangschikken van de woon- en landbouwgebouwen bewaard is gebleven. Daarbij worden de huizen en boerderijen met elkaar doorverbonden door middel van poortjes en gewelfde inritten.
Het uiterlijk van het dorp is het resultaat van het werk van de metselaars die de voorgevels en inritten van de Holašovice huizen in de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw verbouwd hebben in de zogenoemde boeren- of plattelandse barokstijl, een mengeling van eenvoudige barokke, rococo en klassieke bouwstijlen.
De 23 huizen zijn gelegen rond een groot dorpsplein (gazon, visvijver en klein kerkje).

Although originally it was Stearn’s Motor Car Co. ( large mural on East side of building.)
A box car near the bosque used at a small home at one time, common during the depression. I can't say this was or wasn't a Hooverville from the great depression at one time, but it reminds me of one
