Wonderful! These 'painted ladies', which I have seen, are all the more interesting in juxtaposition with the city skyline in view, Mary Lou. f/l

Wonderful, Mary Lou, how you've captured the modern city in the background with these charming & elegant houses in the foreground; a contrast of urban development .. :))
