Cloud 9


Maple Avenue, Hartford

Here is a change of pace.  It is a simple one, shown just because I like the contrast between old and new.

  4. I like it, too, but did you get dizzy taking this one? That's what I'm wondering.

  7. I like how they have placed the sign. It's contrasting but it doesn't 'hurt' the old building.

  14. Look at that! That's where I need to go. I need a cloud nine (wonder why it's cloud seven in German, lol?)

  15. It is a fun mix of new and old, though I prefer the old.

  16. Hmmm. Well, for sure the sign is easy to read.

  17. Definitely a contrast. Love the stone work at the top and bottom of the windows and the balconies. The details at the top also look to be well tended. Cloud 9 does throw out a curve.

  18. Hmmm.....the question must asked: How did this happen?! Cloud 9 needs to blow away. It really just seems out of place.
