Friday My Town: Abandoned / Neglected

▲ Above: Rusting iron fence around an old grave

▼ Below: Not “neglected”, but abandoned for the sake of “progress”…

▲ A year ago I took this photo of an old wooden house with outbuilding across the street from a modern supermarket. (1.3.2011) Still people living there then I think, but I knew there were building plans for the area around it, and I was wondering whether the old house would be spared or not.

▲ ▲ 10.3.2012 – Obviously NOT!

24.3.2012 – Not a trace left!

30.3.2012 = today
The first of the new apartment buildings is rising

Friday My Town: Rust–Rusty-Rustic

Clematis on rusty trellises in a little park beside the river.

 

Rusty rustic piece of art – at the entrance of a multi-purpose exhibition hall, former engine shed, still retaining the rustic style:

… where this old engine (no longer rusty!) also still proudly resides:

(Yes, those last two shots above are archive pictures from winter...)

 

Moving on to our open air museum with its collection of old buildings:

Rustic and somewhat rusty old cellar door.

(And don’t you start muttering about that pile of rubbish in front of the house, because that’s an old barrow - or at least a copy of one. Doesn’t really get much more rustic than that!)

 

Rustic kind of fence around old-fashioned vegetable patch

17th century cottage.
