It's all the rage to be lighting up buildings and bridges lately, but it leaves me cold. Give me historic architecture and romantic rivers, and nothing more is needed for a great view.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697295230446820295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-85617776158810654132017-03-01T08:15:49.084+00:002017-03-01T08:15:49.084+00:00Jenny it looks very cold because it was very very ...Jenny it looks very cold because it <i>was</i> very very cold.
