    Nice photo... but sad.

    I tend when viewing photos like this imagine the way it looked when first built and the happy couple that moved in to their new home. Guess, basically I go back in time to see it as it were or ghosts of the pass pop into my imagination... headscratch.gif

    Thanks for posting!

    sad or happy, as long as the photo made you stop for more than a second and think, then my job is done :)

    Nice and contrasty Clarence, it's a wonder the building in the middle on the greatest lean has not totally collapsed.

    I wonder if it's the window frames that is holding it to shape still?
    The roof at the front still looks very straight even.

    Nicely done clap.gif ..... Skippy :D
