The Golden Swan by harvey

The Golden Swan

These are two nice historic building in the main square of Aachen. I was having an espresso there yesterday with my friends and this perspective caught my eye, as it hides the unsightly 1970's brick buildings on either side of these historic ones. So this morning I packed my larger lens so I could frame up the crop I wanted and I really like the outcome. The white building is the restaurant golden swan, and the grey stone building is the restaurant golden unicorn.
Wonderful composition to highlight the golden signage. Definitely gives it an aristocratic look.

wonderful colouring... the gold stands out really well against the grey/black.white! (is that where Starbucks is on the Marktplatz?)

Really interesting architecture--I like the balcony, I'll bet it's pretty when those flower pots are blooming
