Some modern cities have a timeless quality to them. It's the light, the buildings, the atmosphere.

Please post your take on a modern city.

Another one of Rotterdam



A mix of modern and historic (Berlin)



I prefer historic cities but rather than bore everyone with millions of pics from around the world, I'll use this one from Budapest.

Nah...







Ghent / Gent in Belgium.

Budapest is a good call: Paris of the east.

I've got to be honest, I'm not on the phone to the travel agent right now. Looks like the back of Manchester Arndale - i.e. a dump.

I'd like to share one of my photos of Salzburg from the fortress. There's a perfect blend of old and new in Salzburg, summed up nicely in this photo.

Don't panic - it's only because it's dark. It will be back to normal though once the sun gets switched back on.
