Yes I like the sculptural aspects of things.This image is not unlike some of the city images in an exhibition currently at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You can read a review and see some of the photos here:

Check out ‘Window Reflection - French Building’ by Sherril Schell (American, 1877 – 1964)
Your street scape is much more about the people of course. But your harbour work is much more about the forms.
Thank you CharlieH for this interesting link. I bookmarked it.
The photographs by Sherril Schell, I didn't know. Fantastic! Especially the second with the diagonals in it, so typical for architectural American photography of that period. I love it.
In antother post I was saying that I find it hard to photograph people from nearby with a wideangle ( Oly 9-18) lens. A 25 mm pancake is less obtrusive, of course. It is a trade on it's own, i think.
Rick Waldrup shows here how to do it! Very nice!
Kind regards, Michiel
