Ramshackle shed

This shed is just behind the train in 2009-11-24. It looked so wonderfully dilapidated, I had to get to the other side of the railway lines and take a shot.

    It was begging you to photograph it.

    Que contrastes ¿no?, tanta modernidad al lado de retazos de otros tiempos. Buna foto

    Un abrazo

    • con la mirada atenta...

    El mundo rural ofrece rincones fotogénicos, como el que nos muestras.

    Thank you for always appreciating my calligraphy.
    I am glad.

    About your doubt, the following commentary may serve as a reference.

    "However, early inventors of the Chinese writing system found it difficult to find a pictograph that could represent the abstract concept of "negative," and 不 probably sounded like the word "no" (Pinyin: bù or fǒu in modern Mandarin). As time passed, some elected to add a mouth to the bottom of the character (否) in order to distinguish it from the original word."

    Yes, it is wonderful. Especially with the graffiti, that gives a nice touch and makes everthing more interesting.

    Yes ... I love old buildings. Glad you got to the other side of the line to take it. The construction is interesting not the same as timber buildings here.

    GREAT! I love ramshackle buildings. I posted a rundown house today, too. :)

    Thanks for the comments.

    Don and Krise: Yes, begging it was.

    Ángel Corrochano: Este tipo de contraste se ve mucho en la zona de Saarland.

    Gallow: Thanks.

    Ñoco Le Bolo: Cuando uno empiece a mirar, hay rincones fotogénicos por muchos sitios.

    joo: Dziękuję.

    ruma2008: I am always fascinated by the beauty and the history of Chinese / Japanese characters.

    Martina: Maybe, I should take a spray can to add a nice touch to more photos?

    Joan Elizabeth: I thought I had better capture it before it totally fell to bits.

    Stine: Yours is also wonderfully wooden and weathered, but in Saarland we seem to haven beaten you for ramshackleness.

    Andreea: Mulţumesc.
