1. Pink trimmed sand green building

Were those colors reversed, it'd actually look quite like many buildings in
San Antonio, TX.  Nice use of pink.

2. Maersk blue building!  (A lucky score I happened into:-)

*drool*  God that's a lot of Maersk blue!  :^o

3. New dark red building (converted from an ordinary red one I had already
built)

Very nice, dk. red is such a great building color.

4. Large gray building

Very commercial looking, I like the arches at the bottom.

5. Handsome brownstones (my favorites)

Neat use of log bricks to create the frames on these buildings.  The
sidewalk also, are really neat.

I agree that the log bricks create a "neat" effect.  For those who are reading
along, here is a great example of what Stefan is talking about:

Even thought the color of the frame and the facade are the same color, the
indentation of the log brick on end creates a shadow between the two.  If
regular brick were used, the surface would appear too flat to the eye and one's
mind wouldn't "buy" it as much (if that makes any sense).

Thanks for the kind words, Stefan!
