Modern Lines in Old Times: Structures

During some recent travels around Germany I again noticed how classic some designs really are. I thought I'd do a mini-series on some of the places I've seen and maybe you'll also notice the graphic lines I've been appreciating.

This first post is on A-frame shapes, strong lines and bold stripes. The guard's hut was in a castle courtyard and the covered bridge was in a shady valley shaped by the Tauber river.

Anybody else notice things like this? Do I sound totally off the wall?! =)
