Just beautiful. Love the shadows and all the lines.

The tag for this week's challenge is "theme-sidebyside" with no spaces. I think that was your intent. The spaces in your tags mean it won't get captured there. Just FYI.
posted July 27th, 2012  
wow...that is very cool!
posted July 27th, 2012  
Fantastic side by side. Amazing find.

Well done Ruth. Considering how many blocks of flats and construction sites there are in your locality it really says something that every day for months you've managed to find an interesting, eye-catching shot. And have deservedly made the Top 20 for this week.
