Avagara
I live in Baltimore, an old town in decay and reconstruction since it was founded. I love photographing the human environment, especially buildings with a story. My interests include recycled buildings, graffiti, churches, factories, ghost signs, ruins, jails, towers, corporate buildings, theaters, bridges, stores, houses, cemeteries, schools, apartments, bars, gas stations, to name a few. I like pictures that give a sense of place, and I love to do pictures of places that aren't already on Panoramio. I don't like to do postcard shots; I'll buy the postcard instead.

Does that mean if I have some hundred year old junk, that they won't take it?

It would seem that congregants in Milwaukee have more money...or at least maintain their building better.
Then again, this might look very run down in mid-April of most years, with the dirt from the snowbanks and the lawn in brown.

Good shot. That's the sort of lighting I like too for buildings - diffuse sunshine just enough to add form without making the shadows too harsh. Don't see that enough in Spain, where the light tends to be as hard as hell out of a big blue sky. Add buildings which are mostly whitewashed... Doh!

The Spanish ideal for civilised living is an apartment in a five floor block with underground parking, sun terrace off the living room, and within easy walking distance of bars, restaurants and shops. They don't much go in for American style suburbia - most of which is owned by North Europeans. e.g my parents. The high density urban lifestyle is a direct inheritance from the ancient Romans. I think suburbia is too quiet for the average Spaniard. They really do prefer high noise environments, and if it gets too quiet they let off fireworks or organise loud outdoor concerts which start at midnight...

The owner of this business is a complete demon! A young pregnant woman and her 5 year old son got a flat tire and had to pull into his lot and he chased them off swearing at them and fussing how they were on his property hurting his business, forcing them to drive off on 3 wheels and a rim. I would recommend that no one does business with such a filthy man who would treat strangers (much less a pregnant woman and child) who are in need of help this way.

Hi Avagara,
this is actually a remnant in the old gardens of a castle near Leipzig. The castle, which still exists, was (and still is) surrounded by parks and woods with some monuments, vaults and this dungeon. I think it really was a dungeon or some sort of prison then (18th or 19th century), and poor fellows who got locked there, because its practically right in the middle of the forest. Today the park has been refurbished and the old buildings renovated. It's a nice place to go for a walk or to rewind.
