I would not want to be a window washer there and pray tell, what do they sell at the Quilted Camel?

I would love to have a flat there. Atleast, until I read about the vandals spray painting the roof. Can anything beautiful in our civilization be left alone for all to enjoy?

Thanks for showing us this place. Merry Christmas to you and yours! ~~ John

Let's get OB and anyone else you want to invite, and we will meet at the Quilted Camel and hoist a few rounds...all on me. LOL. Neat shot, Biff.

See the "quilted camel" right next door. They didn't elope on one of those did they? :) Nice shot of the historical scene Richie.

Fascinating architecture and a great shot, Richie! I like the composition and how you've captured the sunlight and shadows with no blown highlights on the light colored building fronts. I'm also very impressed by your ability to clear the streets so you could get this shot.:)

I know they're just buildings but I find myself looking and looking at this shot. It is so well composed. The view angle is wonderful. The color and detail crisp and lovely.
