i love this photo

Does it seem to you that most of the extremely old buildings have their electrical wiring on the outside? or am I just behind the times and that is television cable decking the walls?

Yes you have a point Lori about the wires - I'd never noticed - perhaps they didn't have television in the 1550s !!!!!!!

LOL... with all the satellite dishes that festoon the buildings here...it makes me wonder if they are blighting the views of 1550's architecture over there?
