Space age

Something very out of the ordinary compared to the other downtown architecture, the Ministry of Interior looks to me like a giant spaceship. Due to heavy security, you can’t just drive up and photograph it, which is a pity because it’s fascinating close up.

It does look like a spaceship. Even the trees look unusual.

certainly a stylistic departure...hope you can ride out the hospital ordeal without too much discomfort...it does not sound at all pleasant..

looks like they live on another planet with high walls to prevent looks from the earth people
