… from family dwellings to dense high rise blocks. Normal focal length was used when taking the image so the new development is really as close to the family house as it looks. I’m impressed by the owner’s resolve to stay. There’s not only the construction at the rear; to the right there was a big hole in the ground which no doubt will be built up with a high rise too.
Door to a hotel in Venice, where else? It was not for show, taxi boats came and went with hotel guests all the time.
