The old and the new (I)


I thought of doing a sequence on the combination of the old and the new while I was on the bus this morning, but had not really considered posting this photo from the Eisi Parkhaus and Stadtpark. But it fits in, and is a good follow-up to yesterday's post, considering the comments I received.

The illuminated benches (the one in the lower right of this photo was glowing blue at the time of this shot) are located in the Stadtpark under which lies the parking garage. The yellow building is the Stadthaus where the Brugg municipal offices are located. It was built in 1748/49 as a country house for Johann Jakob Frölich, private secretary to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich (yes, the eponymous one). In 1909 it was converted into the Stadthaus.

Love the color and molding/detailing on the side of the house. And yes, the old (house) and new (blue neon colored bench) fits well together.

I liked to enlarge it because details and colours was in wonderful mix
