OOPS! I tried to say it is a bit incongruous to see a TV mast sticking out of such an old building! #8941764

HI Jeff and John and thanks. John I almost decided to clone it out but it is actually on the building behind which is now a Hotel so I left it in. Perhaps for a book version I will clone it out and make the photo more smooth than real. A bit of old and a bit of new. Glad you noticed, John. #8941904
