Hello folks. Some of you might have seen my latest threads with panoramas of my city, Novo Hamburgo, as well, as the video I made of it.
Anyway, at SSC there are 2 more forumers from my city, and one of them is an excellent photographer, and posted a thread with several street level pics of Novo Hamburgo, focusing a lot on old german houses.
Enjoy
