Jigsaw Puzzle #4. Buildings, Cityscapes or Man-made Structures

Challenge #44 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

Here's your chance to show us a very detailed picture of a cityscape, townscape, buildings or man-made structures, bridges, statues or sculptures, which would make a very busy, drive-you-crazy jigsaw puzzle. Think 1,000+ piece puzzle with lots of minute details. This jigsaw puzzle should show the EXTERNAL views of the buildings, etc., NO interior shots; and NO seascapes this time. SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE.

SIZE: Longer side of entry, MAXIMUM 1600px.
Digital photos only, with full EXIF data.
Colour only.
NO glaringly obvious HDR. If it hurts my eyes, it's out!
TITLE: Give your entry a title, not just an photo number.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

NO photos from previous DPR challenges can be entered in this challenge.
Encouraging comments about entries are welcome.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If you enter the challenge, vote on other entries! This will hopefully counteract the sandbaggers' votes which spoil the genuine results for everyone's entries.
Don't try to vote via Thumbnails in this challenge..... It's not a fair way to assess the details in such a challenge.
ENTRANTS WHO HAVE ENTERED NUMEROUS CHALLENGES, AND HAVE NEVER VOTED, OR HAVE A VERY LOW VOTING SCORE RELATIVE TO THEIR ENTRIES, EXPECTING OTHERS TO DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM MAY BE DQ'D. I don't like Free-loaders or Free Riders in my challenges.
Sandbagging, and vote solicitation will cause DQ'ing of entries, don't even contemplate it!
Entrants or voters caught cheating will be unwelcome in my future challenges.
