Extremely representative photos of Stone, Bronze and Iron. My favorites are the "fan" window, the window grate and the sea monster (he really is quite interesting).

What a great collection of decorative metal objects. This was a fruitful walk, VP.

For those with eyes to see and a camera to shoot, your streets offer the most diverse and interesting attractions.
