End of this contest

This version of the View from Your Window contest is ending. The good news is that Andrew Sullivan is restarting the Dish, as a weekly effort, and that it will have the (real) VFYW contest. So now I can conclude this contest. My thanks to all who played and contributed. So to say "so long," here's a view from the Centre Pompidou Metz, France.
