Great capture of this bleak scene - I like the textures in the dirty wall, and the cloudy gray sky!

You have certainly captured the unsavory character of this whole area nicely, Glyn. I suspect these black stains are probably black mold. That, and the dirty water in the potholes really emphasize the lack of care for the property.

Glyn, I too love this one, the almost decaying wall with its peeling paint. It has so many elements that draw the eye.Well captured.

Excellent subject matter. Gives additional poignancy to the question
"Would you buy a used car from this man?"
The decrepitude is superb!

I like the way the linear perspective of the wall gives depth to this image Glyn. An interesting shot, very nicely done!

It's fantastic, Glyn, how you create (or *re*-produce?) with your camera an atmosphere that gets from one's eyes directly--and perturbingly--to one's soul. That comment goes for this image as well as for "Wall and Fence Round the Back"; where did you take these pictures? -- db.
