Difficult passed days.
The snow, white and little.... could not hide what wanted always....
will wait for the sun.
Very good the photograph, the prospect most excellent, the colours and the lighting suitable in order to it turns on the imagination.

Wow that must have been a heck of a fire...

I assume there has been a fire in that building. Shocking but also beautiful, the way the scorch marks are almost blooming from the windows.

kostas: well, thank you. i'm pleased you like my photos.

janice: or perhaps i exaggerated a little with contrasts.
no, there was no fire but that facade is falling apart and the fungus has settled in...

jem: see comment to janice. nah, no fire, just an old facade in a dark street in a desperate need of renovation.

Truly amazing how old the buildings are there. Everything is so young here, expect for the sea...

indeed, get zapped, some of the buildings are several hundred years old although many were destroyed in the 1900 earthquake (and there were a few fires before and so on)
