The cable car exhibit at Griffith Park's Travel Town Museum leaves a lot to be desired. But I guess it takes time and money to restore something like this, which has been in a state of decay for as long as I can remember.
The Ludlowville Union School is left to the elements. We can monitor its decay since it isn't being torn down or rebuilt. It is most visible in winter, no leaves block the view.

The texture of the decay is so beautiful.

The cuisine in Cuba is, well, pretty mediocre. Actually, that's being kind.
However, there are a few really excellent restaurants in Havana if you want to hunt them down. Probably my favourite was La Guarida as much for the location as the cuisine itself.
We weren't sure how easy it would be to reserve a table so we walked down to the building at midday to try to book. At first, it was not clear where this restaurant was, but we finally found it in a non-descript building in a shoddy street in Havana (much of Havana looks and feels shoddy but don't let that put you off!).
On the ground floor was the entrance to a seemingly derelict building - but much of Havana is like that. Walk past the mural of Fidel Castro on the ground floor and head on up the stairs to the first floor. There is little indication that another level up is a fantastic restaurant - apart from the tell-tale signs of linen tablecloths being hung out to dry in the tropical midday heat.
The paint was peeling off the walls on the first floor (there is no paint on the ground floor apart from Fidel's mural) but the immediate impression - with the tropical sunlight streaming in through the window openings - is one of beautiful decaying elegance.
One floor above is the actual restaurant itself but I was captivated by this first floor scene which seemed to sum up Cuba in a single photograph.
Three outbuildings on a Washington farm (for sale!) northeast of the Goodnoe ghost town. Best viewed in Lightbox--i.e., press "L" on keyboard.
I have strong suspicions that the center building was once a one-room schoolhouse that had long since been converted to something of use on a farm. This is based solely on the fact that there are windows on one side only* and there is a small entryway--both being rather superfluous for a storage shed. The dormer is a bit unusual for a small school like this, but again, it's even more unusual for a tool shed.
It was much darker than appears here as the sun had set more than 30 minutes before.
This is a Pano combining three shots using my 50mm lens.
The placement on the map is an approximation.
*You see this in the old one-room's over and over--one side for light, the other for blackboards and/or bookshelves, etc.
Between Easton and Trappe, Maryland.
When I originally uploaded this photo back in 2015, hardly anyone liked it. I always did, however. So, almost nine years later, after tweaking the processing, I thought I would add it to a number of groups to see if I could find others who like it today. It's on Maryland's Eastern Shore (i.e., the east side of Chesapeake Bay), an area I've come to love. I visit there once a year--or at least, most years. It's an area of small towns, lush farmlands, forests and history--plus a beautiful, unspoiled barrier Island--Assateague (which is a national park)--with many miles of beautiful beaches, replete with wild ponies. I've stopped to take the portrait of this decaying farmhouse on two occasions, and some of the other photos have found their way into my stream as well.
