The blue building, detail

I thought the detail under the window was just lovely. This is a closeup shot of the beautiful old building below:

Amazing the detailed work here - very beautiful, but not sure I'd feel safe going onto these balconies !! V

It has seen better days and hope they do not let this treasure go to waste. V

the balcony and sun-screen details in this gently weathered state are fantastic....but would/will lose a lot of the quality by wholesale replacement and peppering with package air-conditioning modules

As Tom said there is a lot of work to do here.V.

quite the array of patterns...weren't those screened balconies to allow women to peer outside while remaining unseen themselves..

I like this detailed look. Seems there is a lot of restoration to do, but these balconies are quite beautiful as a starting point. V
