Photo of the Day

[Vacumatic]

I want to show you some photos taken in my city. People live in these old houses built in the 19th century. And, of course, living in these houses is not very comfortable.







I have a question for the forum participants. Are there such old, dilapidated houses where you live?

Not really, people usually restore them, if they own the land then having an old and poor condition house is more of a liability than an asset.

Here is a series of pictures I made of buses in Bath, England in 1988. I've been continuing with scanning my slides, which I'm enjoying. However, it's somehow also sad - I was younger then, and I miss analog photography.

If Jane Austen can have her own bus then this bus is for the Beatles

If Jane Austen can have her own bus then this bus is for the Beatles

It took me a moment to grasp the reference, but yes, quite clever. Only, I won't be seeing 64 again either. When that song came out, I thought of 64 as impossibly old - now it's young.

Cheers,

In my city, the authorities usually demolish these houses, as the land in the city center is very expensive. And residents are offered apartments in new buildings, which are usually located on the outskirts of the city. And not everyone agrees to this. Therefore, the eviction process may take a long time.

A character shot, of a local gentleman Mr Donald Bracegirdle, I went all through school with his Daughter Lynn.

The 18th-century town where I live was restored as a museum. In some of the larger cities you can find old dilapidated houses but a great many more have been fixed up, if they still exist.

All roads in the city are covered with snow, and many cars cannot leave their yards.

I took this photo a few weeks ago, of a local Painter Sculptor and friend Jeffery.
