My home town, like it not used to be…

I left my home town for collage in 2000 year. After that I visited the place exceptionally rarely. In last five years I have visited it two times… ? Luckily I could be there last week where I went for a photo walk…

There are many changes made, thanks god for better I hope. EU supported the town financially and many improvements have been made.ย  Oh boy, how much I wanted to be a little boy and live there again… to have these all opportunities to enjoy playing basketball, or football, or any other gameย  on a shiny brand new court, pitch, whatever else is there. Yes I do wish to have these back then…

Shockingly what I also found, there are many places that people have forgotten about or maybe the financial support have not reached everyone who need it too. Many old obscured buildings are mingling between “the pretty ones” scaring away the visitor…

I remember that when I was living there most of these places were in use or at least kept in a good shape, and what happened to them now??? Why people do not look after them anymore, I asked myself. Is it because there is no need for them anymore or is it because the EU helps only the chosen ones?? It is hard to tell actually but in my opinion the town is loosing its charm by not looking after these places…

SAD !!!!ย  ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

  4. Hey,
    I like the fourth photo of the disused clothing shop most. The empty silhouette of the human form is very emotive. It really sums up life coming to an end. I’m glad you chose B+W as I don’t think colour would have worked, too distracting!

    • Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. I also think that pictures like that can’t be done any other way but B&W ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanx again for visiting my blog ๐Ÿ™‚
