Landscaping

What surprises me in this photo is the lack of landscaping near the building. It's just a sea of concrete. Even if you could drive close enough to the building for Google Street View to have a comparable shot, I think there would still be trees in the way. For once I like the current view better!

Out to Lunch

What a great shot, amazing there's no cars or people in the shot except for the carriage on the left. Wonder if you could do the same today.
