I was rambling inside the old British residency at Lucknow. I noticed that the guy was crying ( I don't know why) and his fiancée was trying to console him.

On a walk around the city to catch up on the earthquake rebuild. January 2018 Christchurch New Zealand.
Eight giant spray cans have taken up residency in central Christchurch as part of a plan to attract young people to the city centre.
The oversized cans on the corner of Manchester and Lichfield streets will be a canvas for street artists to test their wares. Three of them would be semi-permanent and were painted by street artists Jacob Yikes, Ikarus and Wongi Wilson.

Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve
The Jacob Ebey House was the evidence of the historic settling of the Ebey family more than 150 years ago at this very corner of the country. Sitting on a hilltop and looking directly toward the Admiralty Inlet and the faraway Olympic Range, one could imagine the opportunities that were as boundless as the landscape.
Set number #300 - time for something special.
It was a cold winter morning in 2009. I drove to the usual rendez-vous parking spot to meet up with my buddy NeQo. I finished my take-away cup of black gold and packed my stuff, ready to go, off for a full day of decay.
Once seated I pulled out my endless list of places to visit. But NeQo insisted on skipping those. I'm taking you somewhere else...
After driving for 50 minutes we pulled over to a bewildered piece of land. I could spot a decayed house between the trees, with late medieval touches, but had no idea what to expect. Until NeQo told me. This is Residency Theodoricus, my friend.
Now I've seen a couple of old places, but this one tops the list. It's from the 1600's and no noteworthy changes have been made to the house. What started as a regular mill was later transformed into a brewery of fine liquors. It's a family affair and the brewery was never commercialized or sold to a large investor. Good!
On with the explore. The place itself is divided into two parts: the stables with a tasting gallery, and the house itself. I checked some windows and doors from the residential part, but it was locked tight. Before squeezing ourselves through a bathroom window we started out with the stables and tasting gallery. Which turned out to be an antiques goldmine. Record players, old radio transistors, Solex motorcycles, unopened pre-WW2 wine bottles, rifles of hunters, wooden horses for children, ...
We went up the attic and and unreal scenery opened up for our eyes: the complete attic was covered in gigantic cobwebs. This must be the result of 410 years of cobwebs in the making. I had to wade through this white jungle a couple of times to take my shots. 10 minutes later all my clothes were wrapped up in spider webs. On top of that my pants were completely white because of the chalk of the very unstable and rotten floor. And right there, amidst this chaotic maze, we popped a beer. Cheers. To 400 years of dust.
Right after we finished our beer we continued the program, on to the second part: the house. I checked the door handle of the house again. Shock! It was open. Now I've might been slightly tipsy because of the beer but I knew this door was locked one hour ago. We went inside. Hello? Anyone here? Silence. We closed the door. My buddy NeQo went inside the living room. Hello? And old & cracky voice sounded from below. Yes! Hold on a minute. Dang! Someone lives here? We went back to the door, to make it look like we were just entering.
A skinny man in his late fifties shows up. Looks like's he's been missing a few lessons on personal hygiene. Bad teeth. Greasy hair. And an overal neglected look. But he seems calm. My buddy tells him we're photographers, interested in heritage. Always works, you know. The old man tells us he's the son of the old lady who lived here. She passed away in 2003. He grew up in this house, but can't maintain it. None of the children want to maintain it. The property will be sold, lock stock & barrel.
After a short brief into the history of this place the old man looks at me. And inspects me. I know I look horrible. I'm completely covered in cobwebs and my pants are powdered with white chalk. I'm wearing gloves and a hat, all wrapped up by silken threads of little spiders. I see them hanging in front of my glasses. I'm coughing dust. I'm a total mess. There's this awkward silence, and with the 0.5 liter beer still fresh I can barely hold myself from laughing. Where on earth have you been crawling out? must he been thinking. But the old chap doesn't say a word.
I cannot hold it any longer. Break the silence. Can we take pictures here?, I ask. Once again the old man scans me completely. Did my breath revealed the beer we just drank? Did he pay attention to the chalk on my shoes? Did he notice the cobwebs in front of my eyes? Does he even know the attic is one gigantic spiderweb? Finally, an answer.
No. Sorry boys, you can't take pictures here!
And off we were, bursting out in joy once we were out of sight. Great explore. Thanks mate!

Lucknow, India. January 10, 2020
The British Residency at Lucknow was built in 1800. It was the scene of the great siege of Lucknow. The British Residency was the place that served as a refuge for approximately 3000 British inhabitants during the time of the uprising (Sepoy Mutiny) of 1857. Lucknow was center of all British activities during the siege and the Residency became the monopolistic center of the British for almost 90 days.
The Residency still has within its walls, the graves of around 2000 British soldiers who died in the Revolt of 1857. The people of Lucknow tell intriguing stories of British who fled from their homes to seek shelter in these red buildings. Only a 1000 inhabitant survived this tough ordeal. On November 17th, the British troops led by Sir Colin Campbell defeated the Indian forces. Though they triumphed, it was victory in the true sense.
Today, the British Residency of Lucknow serves as a government office. The Residency also has a museum that is well-maintained by the authorities. One also finds the tombs Sadat Ali Khan, who was the first Nawab of Awadh, Kaisarbagh Palace and an observatory built for Colonel Wilcox, who was a British astronomer.

In the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the garrison based at the Residency in Lucknow was besieged by rebel forces. Today the ruins of the Residency, and the picturesque Shaheed Smarak offer reminiscences of Lucknow's role in the Mutiny.
