Intersection reflection

     In cities that grew up from the days of horses and buggies (and in the case of this intersection in Rome -not far from the Forum- where chariots travelled) the streets took on shape of the hills, the land people claimed as their own, and even the paths the animals walked. Thus, when compared to planned Twenty-first Century communities, you get some complex intersections. In those intersections you get odd pieces of land and in a major city it is expensive. So, you use it. In many older locations you see "flat-iron buildings" that point to the place where streets come together. I am particularly drawn to them as interesting pieces of architecture.
