goodness I had my camera saturday as we drove through an area we were not familiar with.
Every now and then we find something remarkable architecturally speaking, and this one goes into the Uruguayan Architecture file, (oddities subsection)
We were particularly struck by the custom designed gates at the front entrance, showing up better in the detail.
We have seen a number of follies like this in places around Australia, and always wonder what motivates the builder/designer to go to such extremes.
What fun! Here in the D.C. area you would never find such architectural oddities like that!
