Old Building Facade, Bonn, Germany

@Michael Skorulski: Often facades of our old buildings are monochrome, but here the owner spent some more money than usual :-)

@Craig: If the sun is bright and shining: yes! :-)

@Steven: Somebody put lots of love (and money!) into this house! While most old buildings just get one plain layer of paint, the golden accents here are quite unusual. Living at 3rd floor of the opposite house must be very nice :)

@Capture it, share it!: Thanks! (I tweaked it a little bit :-)

@MaryB: The pros and cons of narrow streets... Usually filled with the most beautiful houes of the city, it's almost impossible to get a whole facade. You can't have it all :-)

@Michael: Danke :) Bonn ist ja mit gutem Wetter gesegnet; ab Leverkusen südwärts scheint ja ohnehin öfter die Sonne, aber in Bonn ist es darüber hinaus noch 1 bis 2 Grad wärmer. (Hab mal 10 Jahre dort gelebt und vermisse das gute Wetter dort sehr!)

@Twelvebit: I think that this building is ca. 100 years old (if not older). It's inmidst the center of Bonn and has probably replaced an older builing. Streets are quite narrow here (four long steps and you've crossed them), the town center has medieval roots and its map didn't change during the times. Sadly, I had forgotten my zoom lens, so I couldn't walk to the next open space nearby and make my shoot there, because I wanted to capture as many details as possible.

@Japanalia: You never know! Often the facades are the first (if not the only) things beinig refurbished and then that's it! That first old house we were living in had a beautiful facade, a marvellous hallway, but cellar and rooms were quite messy. You can live with that if you want to refurbish on your own and your landlord is willing to let you do that. But often this doesn't work out (like in our 2nd residence) and you're getting nothing but trouble!
