Empty shops and business premises are a common sight on UK High Streets, but many vacancies are relatively short lived - the shops are soon in use again although in these difficult times, the new business only have a limited life.
This collection portrays retail outlets that have been empty long-term, some for many years. In the past, all these have housed thriving businesses. Yet now, for some reason, they are empty and some are falling into a state of disrepair and dilapidation.
Each has its own story to tell. Some are completely empty, others seem to have stopped trading suddenly and appear like the Marie-Celeste, still with stock in the windows. In many cases, we can tell easily from the faded signage what business last operated from the shop. Others are a complete mystery with faded blinds or shutters and all signs removed.

On euro tour with Sean and Neil for 3 days of mayhem and a grand total of 8 hours sleep. Taking in some old and new sites and showing them some of what is out there as it was their first time. Also made time to meet up with the SPEXS crew.
This is my 2nd visit here and managed a whole different set of photos this time as it wasn't freezing and the 24 degree evening up til 1am was nice to wander around in.

Liège-Guillemins railway station is the main station of the city of Liège, the third largest city in Belgium. It is one of the most important hubs in the country and is one of the 3 Belgian stations on the high-speed rail network. The station is used by 36,000 people every day which makes it the tenth busiest station in Belgium.
History
In 1838, only three years after the first continental railway, a line linking Brussels and Ans, in the northern suburbs of Liège, was opened. The first railway station of Liège-Guillemins was inaugurated in May 1842, linking the valley to the upper Ans station. In 1843, the first international railway connection was born, linking Liège to Aachen and Cologne.
The station was modernized and improved in 1882 and in 1905 for the World Fair in Liège. This station was replaced in 1958 by a modern (for that time) one that was used until June 2009, a few months before the opening of the new Calatrava designed station.
New station
The new station by the architect Santiago Calatrava was officially opened on September 18, 2009, with a show by Franco Dragone. It has 9 tracks and 5 platforms (three of 450 m and two of 350 m). All the tracks around the station have been modernized to allow high speed arrival and departure.
The new station is made of steel, glass and white concrete. It includes a monumental arch, 160 metres long and 32 metres high. The building costs were €312 million.
Train services
Liège-Guillemins station is served by InterCity- and InterRegio trains, connecting Liège with all major Belgian cities, as well as several international destinations such as Aachen, Lille, and Maastricht. In addition to the national traffic, Liège-Guillemins station welcomes Thalys and ICE trains, connecting Liège to Brussels, Paris, Aachen, Cologne, and Frankfurt. Two new dedicated high-speed tracks were built: HSL 2 (Brussels-Liège) and HSL 3 (Liège-German border).

We drove a round to find this empty parking lot and it holds true, "a man's trash is another man's treasure." We found these abandon furniture and made the best use from it.

An LKAB ore empty heads east near Søsterbekk Station. The former Norddal trestle in the background was bypassed in the late 1980s as the weight of the ore trains became too much for the structure. Interestingly enough the new alignment the train is on breaks off inside the mountain on the left near the end of the ore train.
With traffic projected to increase to 40+ trains a day on this line in the next decade or so, the old alignment may again see trains when a second main track is constructed from Kiruna to Narvik.
Place du Tertre is one of the most famous tourist areas from Paris. It so rare to see it empty in winter.
Empty pens, empty barn. Empty barns deteriorate the quickest when they are not used. No matter our age, having a purpose and a reason to keep busy every day is vital for our physical and mental health.

This picture was taken at the beginnig of april. It was the time when the "3th tide" of the covid pandemy was at its highest level and rising.
Medics and soldiers made last preparations to launch (last remaining) pavillon no 7 in the Poznań International Fair Field Hospital for patients treatment.
Finally, there was no need to use it.
But it was dramatically close.

You came to the window to find an answer... You look at the sky, you look at trees, you catch the sunshine on a pavement, you notice shade dropped from the bench… Pretty flowers in the garden, birds and squirrels.... up and down.. One moment you think that you have found it but you can’t feel it. You just stood there looking for answers… until you find yourself staring at one spot, so lost and so tired…
