Views from new apartment

What I do like about my new apartment are the fantastic views (albeit there is a power plant very close-by) of Cincinnati. I have found Cincinnati (from the past couple months I've lived here) to be quite interesting in terms of architecture, neighborhoods, space...it's very germanic seeming in ways. The red rustic brick homes and buildings, the steeples popping out, the hills and windy narrow streets. The small quaintness (although still industrial) despite the big city. My apartment fills with natural light and I can see the sun rise in the mornings. I like to leave the curtains open at all times to wake up to the sun in the mornings and see the street life and endings to the day through artificial city lights and stars. I also love seeing the moon and going to sleep saying goodnight to it. The best, though, is opening the windows at this height (12th floor) and feeling the breeze.

Below are two pictures I took during the daytime, and I will try to take a couple more this evening.
