That is correct On 8/22/2020 at 7:37 AM, DAK Glasgow said: Ia the big building with the redish roof the local government office? Not quite, it is the local office of FSB (Russian Secret Service), built early 30's for the similar preceding organizations and was at the time (and still is) prominently higher than the overall city skyline, thus called "The Big House". Popular story was that you could see as far as Siberia from that building... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

larsv Posted August 31, 2020 Share #19611 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) My first thought would be New York City or New Orleans Edited August 31, 2020 by larsv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAK Glasgow Posted August 31, 2020 Share #19612 Posted August 31, 2020 One of your first thoughts is correct - NOLA it is I spent a fantastic day with well known leica photographer David Spielman - https://www.davidspielman.com/index It was really worth it - learned a lot and I can’t recommend him highly enough if you want some high level one to one tuition/photography chat and the chance to to see his NOLA.
