When it's enlarged, there's even more to see - a small child running across the street on the left side, three modes of transportation - ice buggy/wagon with horse, a car beside it and several buses.

I tried to find the Sepia Saturday picture on Streetview but no luck. I think I can see a Bang & Olufsen shop on the original. So I thought we are looking at Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen but I am not sure.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-33171165137353656732012-08-10T09:09:23.823+01:002012-08-10T09:09:23.823+01:00You really do have to click and enlarge to see the...You really do have to click and enlarge to see the wonderful detail in this shot.
