Is this modernism? Amazing how the International Style spread across the continent and around the globe, devouring cultures and sublimating local flavor at every turn. And like some pop stars, modernism didn't age well if it wasn't meticulously maintained.

Nice abstract shot. I like how the frame is split 50/50 and the perfect order is broken by the satellite dishes, window voids, and what looks to be pockmarks from mortar shells. A tilt-shift lens would have made it even more perfectly abstract!
