This is a black-and-white cityscape from way up high. You see a big open square with a tall obelisk in the middle, surrounded by fountains and statues. Buildings crowd the background, with domes and rooftops stretching far into the distance. The square looks like it’s designed for big gatherings, with wide-open spaces and grand columns. The photo’s hazy, like it was taken on a foggy day or from a dome. If you like this view, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where it’s kept.
