This house, in Exeter's Topsham district, seems to have been inspired by the Bauhaus movement...

Hi, a better view, and interesting details of the building shown above. Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) buildings ate over 100 years old. So are the trees in the streets.

Taking a uwa (!5mm) lens because of this, very often leads to distortions ...
