I do not live here.
I buy seeds here.

There is little that isn't run-down,
but still it's beautiful.

I love the first one!

Reminds me of a corpse wrapped up for the morgue. But then I've been watching a lot of cop shows recently.

beautiful photos, especially that first one. It looks old and mysterious. The colors are fantastic.
