Looking up!

When I was younger this wouldn't have bothered me at all, but now, I'd feel very claustrophobic. I'd rather not visit a city/big town anymore because of lots of high buildings and hardly any sky to see.

Most older blocks of flats in cities such as Madrid or Paris used to have a height restriction of no more than 7 storeys. Why? Because in the days before lifts, it was considered that students and young childless couples could easily manage 7 flights of stairs, young families the middle floors and the elderly and infirm should have the ground floors. So in the centres of these cities you don't often get a feeling of claustrophobia because there is plenty of sky without the skyscrapers!

Splendid point view!

Thank you, Judite

Always worth looking up when out taking photos..............as you have ably demonstrated here Andy! I especially like the cloud formations and the colours of the buildings. Very nice indeed!
