Superb set Joe.
Thank you Jim for your kind comment
I could sit there for hours and just enjoy the beauty, Joe. And I'm not much of a city guy.

Thank you Ken for your very kind comment, I have to admit that we were floored also by these city scenes.
What an interesting place! That skinny building in the last photo looks like it was used to fill an alleyway.

Thank you Barbara - who knows about that skinny building, you just might be right, why else would anyone build such a narrow structure, if not to fill a gap!
