Modern arcade
This arcade is on the “upper lake” in Böblingen. The area around two lakes in the middle of town was revamped for the “Landesgartenschau” in the late 1990, a horticultural show. When a town is chosen to host the show it is usually done in such a way that the areal can be kept and benefit the inhabitants for years to come.

For One Word Sunday: vertical.

This is for One Word Sunday. More clean photos can be found here.
