Blissful Decay  - Η Ομαλή Φθορά!

Sharing is caring!

 You know how sometimes you are working on a project, and you rush to take pictures of it, and then you put your memory card into the computer … and instead of your pictures you see … this:  I call it Blissful Decay.

Ξέρεις πώς μερικές φορές δουλεύεις πάνω σε ένα έργο, και βιάζεσαι να τραβήξεις φωτογραφίες, και στη συνέχεια να βάλεις την κάρτα μνήμης στον υπολογιστή… και αντί των εικόνων σου, βλέπεις … αυτό. Το ονομαζω Η Ομαλη Φθορα!

This happened to me a few days ago. I was working on a project and instead of finding 5 measly pictures of my box makeover I found 128 pictures of total bliss on the memory card. What happened you say?  Well, my daughter went out for a walk with her friend and  they got carried away with the decay of the town!  

Αυτό μου συνέβη πριν από λίγες ημέρες.  Δούλευα σε ένα έργο και αντί να βρώ 5 τιποτένιες φωτογραφίες του κουτιού που έφτιαξα, βρήκα 128 φωτογραφίες συνολικής ευτυχίας στην κάρτα μνήμης. Τι συνέβη λέτε; Λοιπόν, η κόρη μου πήγε μια βόλτα με το φίλο της και παρασύρθηκε με την παρακμή της πόλης!

This one was photographed by the kids. They really surprised me when they came back from their walk and I saw such exquisite point of views.

These pictures are so beautiful and amazing! So many different angles and ways of looking at things. Your daughter and her friend are very talented with the camera. What a nice surprise when you got your camera card out. Thank you for sharing at Inspire Me Wednesday. Featuring you in this week's issue.

I'm speachless, such amazing wonderful shots. I love the old door and the balconies too. Everything looks like it would have been truly stunning in it's hay day.

Stella it was such a beautiful town but we had a huge earthquake here in '96 and so now we have a lot of ruins. Some of these old houses have been restored to their former grandeur but a lot of them have been abandoned.
