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..
