These buildings are still in good condition considering when they were erected. Why, we have some homes in disrepair that were built about 20 years ago. Just goes to show the quality of workmanship of older generations.
I agree Ces! Actually, I photographed them BEFORE they were being restored. This particular building was a special privilege to see because in an off limit area. I was trying to record its character to compare at a later date ... Your statement about the quality of workmanship is true about everything!
Hey you remind me of my old aquaintance the "chewing gum artist"... dunno what precisely he used to do I think it was drawing pixx on bits of gum on the street or just photographing them... he found himself lying on pavements for many hours a day... gettting arrested twice and VERY nearly sectioned and mentally impounded as punishment under the mental health act or his bizarre behaviour....
That's right Mountaingirl, I know you like looking at things closely yourself ;)
OOOOHHHH THANKS Mary Stebbins Taitt!! Did you find any spores? Hhehheee
HARHAR I'm nothing like your "chewing gum artist" acquaintance, who I seem to remember reading about somewhere... Haven't been arrested or impounded yet Gledwood! THAT is putting me off my breakfast! *glurp*

Can see lichen spores now!
Can you? Hmmm... not sure I'm convinced...
Hehheee, look VERRRRY closely at the sandstone in the last photograph Caroline!
The spores are very tiny are'nt they. Are they far away?
You have to look extra closely Captain Modroom9 so your mind is far away ... watch your nose ;)
The last pic is like an abstract painting! Beautiful!!!
*Atchi**snif* Oups! Too close! Got some spores in my nose!
Thanks! Oooops, HAHA, hope you didn't get a surprise facial scrub MerlinPrincesse :)
Gah! I love this kind of stuff not only texture but strips and faded text!!

I like the photo of the tape measure..it's as if the owner was taken away suddenly

I think that's what might have happened Simon! I mean Rose ... where did Simon go!?!

You have done well capturing the buildings before the restoration. We will see them after the restoration process then?
Thanks Ces :) I hope so - there is an open day very soon so might take a peek at how they're progressing! I mean take a whole lot of snaps HAHA :)
Another great set of photos Anony :-) It is incredible the beauty of the little things around us - you just need to know where (and how) to look :-)
OOoooh, these are totally wonderful! I love them best of the series so far. They are SUPER, all of them! These are GREAT! :-D
Definitely an abstract painting. Looking for the spores now.
