I'm in two mind about this building –a townhouse in Nuremberg. On the one hand, I admire its individual features, such as the rounded glass of the window panes and the unusual turret, while on the other hand I find it a little ... well, intimidating; a bit imposing and mysterious. Perhaps this is as much due to the angle I have taken the picture –from below– as anything else. Or maybe, seen with "another" eye the whole facade seems to have something of a "Transformers" personality –the turret becoming a head and its upper floors the wide shoulders of some robotic creature. I don't know anything of the history of the building, but it does intrigue me –like all buildings of personality and character. Yet would I live here? Perhaps not. I'd happily have some of those windows though.
Location: Nuremberg, Germany
