My parents were married there in1952. Sadly I have never been in as it is used for document storage. Never open to public.

Love this! A part of the city so central but often forgotten

Great shadows

"Another darkness was closing in as surely, when the church bells, then ringing pleasantly in many an airy steeple over France, should be melted into thundering cannon; when the military drums should be beating to drown a wretched voice, that night all potent as the voice of Power and Plenty, Freedom and Life."

Illuminated skyline to perfection. Brilliant photography

"Then, with a whistling note that rose above the droning of the pit, the beam swung close over their heads, lighting the tops of the beech trees that line the road, and splitting the bricks, smashing the windows, firing the window frames, and bringing down in crumbling ruin a portion of the gable of the house nearest the corner."

There is always something magical when snow scenes are photographed. This is great ! Are you doing calenders?

Is that the grass market?

That’s a great picture. It reminds me of our snowfall here in Minnesota USA. I can almost hear it falling.
