Dilapidation

Sad to see these buildings looking so run-down but there is also something appealing about their shabbiness..

It looks rather French?

Beautiful processing.

@quietpurplehaze it is Hazel - northern France.

@cmp thank you.

@megpicatilly

It is a great shot. I have loved France since I started learning French at school aged 11.

@quietpurplehaze thank you. Living in Kent we can be in France in as little as an hour and a half so we often go for just a night or two.

@megpicatilly

How lovely!

[Paul]

Like your old time processing. Probably a few ghosts lingering inside those old walls - lovely 👍👍

[Catherine]

@paul10 thank you. It does look a bit sad - would love to see inside!

[Mave]

Love the sepia effect.

[M. Brutus]

Great photos. The sepia treatment makes them seem like they were taken long ago. YOu would have had me fooled.

Lovely processing - there's something so appealing about run down buildings

Great shot

[Babs]

They do have character. I love the processing. Hope somebody will restore them to their former glory.

[Joy's Focus]

Love this shop and processing!

[Catherine Otley]

Yes, there is! It is as if you can still grasp their history but once the renovators come in, subtle details are lost in pursuit of that former glory.

Great processing to convey a building past its prime.
