urban life
Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 23 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
this is how a typical "modern" suburbs look in Lodz and in many other Polish cities... the communist years have left this region with the legacy of a "concrete slab", which is essentially how these blocks were constructed...
the slabs would never quite fit together properly, which resulted in uneven floors, issues with piping, chunks of wall falling off and other exciting surprises...
these days these buildings are being foam insulated from the outside and an effort is being made for them to look somewhat more colourful as they were all usually built from grey slabs or painted white (but the white would turn grey anyway withing a matter of months)...
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas with a lot of joy and happiness!!!
welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...
