More flowerboxes and statues....

And....here's a larger view of the portal seen in Picture 3, although techically I don't know if this is really considered a portal.

Here's an alternate to Picture 2.

I decided given the way their colors stood out against the faded, drab parts of the building, the flowered required a high-saturation edit in Gimp.

The flower boxes were especially noticable on the City Hall when I visited in June, and it was raining for most of the time I was there so they were growing well.

This is the New Town Hall in Munich, which is actually newer than it looks. It looks like a very authentic gothic building, until you notice just how over-the-top the ornamentation is. It actually is a gothic revival, built between 1867 and 1908, although the city government moved there as early as 1874. In addition to all of the stationary statues, flowerboxes, and other ornamentation, the clock has automatons similar to the ones on the Prazky Orloj (Prague Astronomical Clock) on the Prague Old City Hall, although technically this clock isn't astronomical as far as I know.
