This is one of the oldest tenement houses in Warsaw (Poland). It is recognized as a monument. The authorities have no idea and no funds to renovate it, but it is not allowed to demolish it. And time does its thing.
I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
Sad isn’t it. We have some of those too. A recent one was burnt to the ground, and a lot of people think the old owners did it so that they could redevelop the land. This shot is great with the modern building in the background.
Such contrasts and such sadness in seeing this "monument in such a state of decline without the hope of the renovation! A lovely subject for your photography - great colour tones and textures! fav
Sad to see it deteriorate this way. That is also happening to many buildings in a state park around here. The families were forced out when the government was going to do something with the land. That project never happened and it was too late for many families to move back in. Now the homes are left to nature to do its work. Good shot.
