Very nice! Though not fine press, Taschen's Palladio: The Complete Buildings would make a good companion.

>5 Lukas1990: I can see them. Maybe there was a hiccup with the image hosting service (postimg.cc). Or perhaps you have some network connectivity/name server lookup issues that are affecting connections to postimg.cc specifically.
