  3. Very interesting! I wonder how much privacy there is from one balcony to the next.

  4. It is difficult to mix old and new and sometimes it ends up great. Not sure if it does here but I like the angle!

  6. Nice from your down angle. But I still prefer the old-old in general.

  7. Your photo makes this new building seem quite attractive. I wonder if it seems as appealing from other angles.

    "New" has many meanings, doesn't it?
