There are tales doing the rounds that, some day soon, the bulldozers are going to move in, so maybe better to use it up whilst it still stands. I can't imagine who, in this land, would invest more money in building when the place is full of unsold new stuff going bad. But what has logic to do with greed?

I particularly like this shot, especially since I know the place and how tricky it is to get a good perspective.
Nice one !
Cheers

Thanks, Chris, I had lunch today in the same restaurant nearby: crab salad and young pork ribs... and that one, bloody glass of wine. No wonder I walked away and felt under the 'surveillance' of every cardiologist in the land! But maybe it's not a bad thing: driving back with a few more glasses behind me wouldn't be politically correct anymore, not that it ever was the sensible thing to do. That's another important thing that wives are for: driving you home from things when you can't. Hospitals come to mind.

An architectural burqa?

That's what might be called a matter of opinion. Without being crowned, it's like thinking you've won the lottery before your bank has the money in your account.

Freezing cold afternoon; fire at home but I was out. Madness. Even the fish have gone somewhere else.

Shot a few frames, but zilch apart from this mildly 'possible' that filled in an empty space before making a snack. Such the rôle of retirement photography: an alternative to game-show tv. Thank goodness photography exists.

I'm sure that's 4x5, of course, but tonality like it is very rare for me from digital capture. Even at that size. Obviously, I don't own DMF, but I can't say anything I see posted here from DMF has that look either.

Maybe few posters who use DMF do black/white...

In the end, it's all down to the magic of real estate, and having spent too many years printing 4x5 and larger in my industrial epoch, I can vouch for the fact that even from expert printers there is something absolutely unmistakeable about the different formats at similar print sizes - even an 8x10 print reveals the naked truth. Whether such a test can hold via the Internet or not, I can't say.

Thanks Rob,

You can see that I left the evidence before the jury to indicate it is film, I neglected to zap the dust spots.  LOL.

Herewith, I bring before thew Court another exhibit taken the day after.  Just a bit of fun with repeated pattern.

Paddo Stripe 2 reveals the charming pair of legs that immediately caught my eye, as the same pair must have yours.

Aaah, but Rob, the legs paused and their owner spoke to me moments previously, asking if it was alright to proceed.  Sort of courteous, non-intrusive street in a way.

Sort of courteous, non-intrusive street sex, in a way.

Couldn't resist the edit!

Sunny way to go, proving Sunset Villas isn't a new invention from Florida or California.

You're type-casting me: this was the recce version devoid of any sexy curves! She appeared in the 'artistic' version in black/white! ;-)

Okay - here she is again, then.

No, she's not; she's sulking. I'll try to coax her out. It might be the curse of W8 again - she's friendly in PS but refuses to do anything (for me, right now) on LuLa - simply won't grow!

Hot damn! Neither, now, will the one in colour, above.
