What a great series of photos. Old stuff like this in colour leaves me weak at the knees.

Fantastic...!! 7, 8 and 11 are the ones I'd love to have taken.

They're great.

Phil - you're right about the colours, beautiful.

I've probably bored you all about this before, but as someone who loves cities, it's somewhere I've always waned to visit. Well next year all being well we'll be preparing to go and I'm really looking forward to it!  :) :)
