Coming across an abandoned old property makes me wonder. What was it that brought “This Old House” into disrepair. Who lived here? What were they like? What did this home look like when first built. Maybe I think to much. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay kind.
This is an old Bakelite telephone I came across whilst visiting the Pierhead building in Cardiff Bay. A far cry from the handheld mobile phones that are used today. I can't begin to imagine the conversations that have been had on this telephone!

View of the Old Town of Dubrovnik and Lokrum island from our holiday apartment's balcony, early in the morning on another hot and humid day. According to legend, Richard the Lionheart was shipwrecked in 1192 after returning home from the crusades and was cast safely ashore on Lokrum.

7 old flower tubs in the closed supermarket car park.
Might look better with some flowers in them. 👀
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
I took this photograph a couple of years ago, mainly out of boredom. I was standing at the exact spot where I took it, waiting for a friend who was late. The image itself was insignificant. Other views that are more representative of Sitges, a seaside town close to Barcelona, are also available. It's well-known for its beauty and lively atmosphere. It's also where I used to spend my summers during my childhood and early youth.
I thought it wasn't worth sharing, so I decided to delete it. Then I had an idea: I'd try to reinvent the old postcards people bought when I was a kid. They were, somehow, similar to this shot: loud, overexposed, and of poor quality.
With the arrival of foreign tourists, greetings from... began to appear. Previously, it would have been "Recuerdos desde...", always in Spanish because Catalan was publicly forbidden and restricted to family settings.
They used to bear a stamp of some kind, such as a flag or a town shield.
Those who know the place will immediately realize it's a modern image. Apart from the way people are dressed, you can see buildings that didn't exist at that time.
I suppose those who have never seen anything like this, or who are not reading this explanation, won't like the photograph. Anyway, I had a great time editing it.
The one-time Unitarian church in Berkeley, now part of the university and used for music and dance classes.
Happy Saturday for Stairs!
Yesterday’s sunrise at Old Harry Rocks in Dorset. A fantastic location to see the start of a new day.
The Ovid, Idaho ward chapel was built around 1895-1896. It was sold by the 1960s, and now is privately owned.
Hiking from The Table Mountain, Jacumba vicinity to the Old Butterfield Stage Route, down to The Sheep Pens in Mountain Springs Ca. with The Jacumba Hikers. We came across this old watering trough being consumed by the enviroment. the location is at the corner of no and where miles from the nearest habitation. Probably from the days of the cattle drives as these can be found throughout the back country down to the deserts below.
Macro Monday, May 2nd, 2022: Leather
What remains of my old leather (genuine) wallet lays splayed over its thinner, more modern faux leather replacement with a National Parks pass playing the part of the background. Something tells me the new version, while more comfortable, will never gain the patina of the original.

Old Wardour’s colourful history has left it a memorable combination of medieval castle, Elizabethan mansion, Civil War battleground and 18th-century landscape garden. The remarkable hexagonal castle was built in the 1390s for John, Lord Lovell, a wealthy courtier and soldier. In the 1570s an Elizabethan administrator, Sir Matthew Arundell, added up-to-date Renaissance features. Then, in a Civil War siege of 1644, Henry, Lord Arundell, blew up one side of his own castle, while recapturing it from the Parliamentary army.
In the 1760s and 1770s the 8th Lord Arundell built a country house, New Wardour Castle, nearby, and turned Old Wardour into a picturesque park of ruins, lake and woodland.
