old Stone Buildings on the Waterfront

Sharing is caring!

Today I am not going to drive you crazy with more Halloween crafts. I know that you want to know what is going on with Paranoid man but that’ll have to wait till the Party on Monday.  Instead I’d like to take you to the other side of the waterfront. To the side with many old stone buildings.

You may remember a while ago I visited the town waterfront.  And I showed you many buildings in stone, most of which have been restored.

Some have been white washed but they are slowly crumbling.

You almost expect a spooky ghost to come walking out of the door.  I couldn’t resist, it being Halloween and all!

Ghosts aside, it is eerily beautiful.

Is it falling apart or coming together?

And that is our walk thru the other part of the waterfront, the section with the old stone buildings.  As you have just seen, it is “a work in progress”.  These old buildings are in various stages or repair or disrepair, depending on how we see it. But even in this state there is a raw beauty to them and surrounded by the lush green of the trees they seem to blossom.

...architecture has always been of interest to me and building with stone particularly. Such lovely examples. Thanks Mary for sharing, enjoy your week.

Thank you Tom. When I took that camera with me, it was the first time I actually looked at those buildings. Really looked!

Dear Mary, these old buildings are attractive indeed, though it mostly hurts me to watch them decaying. Some of those old, abandoned buildings could be turned into prescious jewels, but no one seems to care... Once again you've made beautiful pictures, thank you for sharing them with us! Lots of love, Marjan

Thank you for your kind words Marjan. They are doing the best that they can considering that we have the crisis...it is never ending . And on top of that we have earthquakes all the time. I am actually surprised that they have restored as much as they have.

Mary I hope so too, it would be a shame if they are left to fall apart. As it is now, I am happy that they have at least managed to restore a section of the area. When I first moved here 20 years ago the whole area was a mess.

Mary, I always enjoy going for walks with you, or boat rides or trips to the mountains, it doesn´t matter where you go, it´s always beautiful and so interesting to see your boondocks! Those old stone buildings are gorgeous and I also like the not so pretty ones, they look spooky indeed. It is Halloween after all! :)

Yes Katrin, I was thinking this would be the perfect post for right around Halloween. It can seems sort of spooky especially when the weather is not sunny like it normally is.

I am quite taken with these old stone buildings. They are impressive in all of their stages, but I do hope that all of them are restored,before they are beyond saving. The stories they could tell of days gone by (if buildings could talk that is)! You have captured the beauty of all of the different buildings. It is always a delight to see your photos, simply beautiful. Thank-you!

Ellen it is a minor miracle that so much has been restored so far. When I first moved here 20 years ago they were all crumbling. And it was truly a shame because the area is so beautiful. Now at least half of them have been given a second life.
