Hammerites bell ringers?
(Mikeze & Jakeze - San Giusto Castle. Trieste - Italy)
Today I stumbled over the site www.schattenlose.de which impresses me with its photography of decayed architecture. Mostly industrial architecture, but there are also nice series of an old sanatory (Beelitz Heilstätten-Teil 2 under "Profan-Architektur") and a very thief like cellar (Lavakeller in Mending under "Wehr-Architektur/Untergrund-Architektur"). Have a look under "Fotographie", if you're interested.

(OK, these three things I had with me were rather modern, but for the sake of retaining flavor...)

CheeseshireCat, это в Казахстане?
Да, это старые дома на Ботаническом бульваре в Алма-Ате (конечно, сейчас уже и Алма-Ата и Ботанический бульвар называются несколько иначе).Originally Posted by clearing

That house is amazing. And the photoshopping certainly adds interest.
But even with the help of Google Translate I wasn't able to find out where in the world the pictures had been taken. I'd be interested in knowing more about it. You Russian-speaking people, what do you know?

For some reasons, both authors keep the exact location in secret.
Every time I look at this thread, it makes me want to do some serious traveling. There are so many amazing place around the world. Thanks to all for sharing them.
Where? Where?? Where??? Ehm... is this, I mean?
OH!! I want one of those hats!!
LOLZOH!! I want one of those hats!!
@Pavlovscat: - I get to use Garrett devices at work. Can't help but smile whenever I see the name on them! I want a cap too, might look into it.......
Sorry I don't have a picture, but I couldn't get my camera out quick enough. We were in the car & a truck pulled up next to us with some beautiful thick carpet samples. I was admiring them when I noticed the brand name: Garrett Carpet! I ROFLed thinking of Garrett selling nice thick, quiet carpet by day and scoping out the houses, then returning one night to make off with the valuables.
Then I googled Garrett Carpet and discovered a ton of Garrett carpet cleaning services, another great avenue to case a house for a later visit.
Haha! Perfect! Metal detectors and carpeting. He probably stole a sample of Friend Manus's non-slip mats and got it patented, too.
