Skywatch Friday: roof lines

The gray sky before the storm.  Thunder and lightening tonight after an intermittent cloudy day.  These  roof lines illustrate the architectural diversity of downtown.  And a ghost sign is thrown in for free.  For more sky shots, visit Skywatch Friday.

  4. Here in Holland also cloudy and rain with a little sunshine on my walk today.
    I like these old texts on old buildings. In Holland somebody just published a book with pictures of texts on all kind of old buildings. Idea?
    Nice weekend,

  11. Good eye. I like those "ghost signs" too. I think I may have referred to them in one of my pictures as an echo from the past.

  12. Even though those buildings have aged, they remain astonishing to this day. Anyway, the ghost sign tinted on that red building actually makes the whole building a bit mysterious, and the gray sky’s adding to that effect, too =)
