I do building plans for a living and these pics really are nice. Here's one I took in Wunsiedel in Germany while on vacation this past December.
The big doors at the bottom of these buildings are where the people use to keep their horses and carts. Now they have been converted to extra living space.
As an aside, have anyone ever wondered why a city like Pretoria has four lane one - way streets, when the streets were built long before cars got there. Just how exactly did they know they would be needing streets broad enough for four lanes of traffic?
The answer is they didn't. The streets were just wide enough to turn a team of oxen around a corner, or for two teams to pass each other.
