So there are balconies on most buildings around town. On many of these you'll see outdoor curtains--usually made out of a heavy canvas or plastic fabric. They block light, dust, rain, and they do it without stopping air circulation.
Whatever advantages they offer, I didn't like them much when we first got here. I thought they looked messy.
But, like so many other things in this city, they've grown on me.
Balconies are essential to me. I simply must be able to sit outside. I have gone one step further and find it difficult to live other than on the ground. I need a patch of dirt.
ReplyDeleteI like the closer balcony much more than the further. We have both types here in Sydney, too.
Balconies are a wonderful architectural feature. They definitely add personality to any building.
ReplyDeletecharming.
