Modern Babel

The two modern buildings seem to look upon the old Coptic church with sullenness. However, the old building seems to withstand the pressure overbearingly.

I thought this was an interesting view of three different buildings, modern and old, religious and urban, standing together side by side, forming a unique urban landscape. The photo was taken in Vienna, Austria, near the Vienna International Center (VIC) and St Markus Coptic Church. On the left is the E wing of the VIC and on the right of the church there is a glass business tower, the IZD Tower.
