Windows and Doors

Windows and doors enable us to enter a world that’s different than the world where we stand. Some are large, some small, some well maintained, some in various stags of disrepair.

These Boots Are Made For ...

Do you remember the song "These Boots Are Made For Walking"? Well, these boots are made for something else. Presumably there was a hope that the fencepost topping boots will delay or stop decay in the posts -

Buildings come in all shapes and sizes, in good condition and in various states of disrepair. Disrepair often gives the buildings a character that make for visual interest and good photographs even if you wouldn’t want to have to use them.

Here are a few that could be in better condition –

If you’re so inclined, think of whether it would be safe to enter the building, or use it for which it was intended, or what it might take to repair these interesting structures.
