New and Old

The entrance to an eye surgeon's office, a new aluminium and glass door on an old wrought iron and carved stone doorway of an late 1800s building.

I took this a few weeks back, it's Tom and my Dad with Tom singing "I'm the king of the castle" :-)

Old/new and big/small in one pic...

The photo was taken with my iPhone and shopped a bit with Instagram.

It's not dying, just having a quiet couple of months. It's all down to topic choice innit. This one needs a bit of thought, which personally I've not had time to do yet this month as I've got something else taking up all my time until next wednesday, so I'll have a think about it after that..

Ancient and Modern:

Click for larger

An ancient folly - supposedly haunted - that has a certain atmospheric charm in its rustic environment. Unfortunately it has attracted the attention of the local youth who have defaced it and the surrounding trees with urban-style graffiti.
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

I do hate that, I love to explore old buildings like this until the local council feels the need to fence it off to protect it from vandalism.

Old and New

The old rich and famous Summer houses and the new rich and famous glass and aluminum Summer flats

Image


Note: I still think it looked nicer when the rich and famous build their big summer houses by the bay, and the a bit less rich and famous built theirs in the hills behind, than this modern, higher than the hills, "stackable looking" boxes.

My effort for this month

Tower blocks in Brentford from Kew Gardens
New/Ugly/Dense/Bland vs. Old/Beautiful/Spacious/Character

Image


Only had the iPhone with me so wasn't able to get all 5 blocks into view and have the Georgian property visible.
