An abandoned building on the Boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ
This is an old abandoned building in Athens, with lovely decoration around and between the windows.
It’s such a shame that there used to be so many buildings like this in Athens, most of which are now demolished. The worst part is that very few of the remaining ones are preserved or renovated, the vast majority are completely abandoned and left in ruins, like this one. Such a big part of our city’s architecture could be lost in a few decades.
Breaks my heart, too

When we visited Mon Repos, birth place of Prince Philip, we saw these great gates with a snake head detail
and I’m thinking that they must have been custom made for the house. And then I saw this a few days later, sitting forlornly outside a building in the middle of Corfu Town - a lowly boot scraper. So much for my theory of exclusivity!
