Hi all, and welcome to another silly Sunday upload. I took these three shots last Sunday Morning, during a brief Sunny spell.(Heavy Rain and high Winds at the mo', and sitting here with a light on) I've been meaning to take pic's of this rather shabby piece of Building work for ages. It's actually in Maidstone Town, and I pass by it every time I go into Town, and at last, made a point of Photographing it. Hope you find it as fascinating as I do Smile and of course, Building work dosn't get much sillier than this Smile
A big thanks to all who voted on my 'Paddles & Pearls' upload, and hope you all have a good Week running up to the Bank Holiday Weekend.
All the best to all, and try to stay dry down South.

John Smile

I like your title - wouldn't get permission here for sure - but then some people just get on and do it !!!!

Am I seeing thins, or is the entire building really held together with string????
Given the detail embellishment that you have captured particularly well (the special bricks arching above the windows) the building was loved - once upon a time.
Interesting, and maybe a sign of the times.
Now I'm going to plug in the fan heater to warm up my toes. Yes, the C.H. is on . . . .
Have a good Sunday nevertheless!
Regards
Bill

I'm sure there was a logical reason behind this... V2 for me, the direct face-on view - and I'd love to crop it to square.

Ha ha, thanks all, and yes I see what you mean about being tied together with String Bill Smile
The Buiding is now a News Agents, well, the downstairs is anyway, but not sure if the upstairs is a part of it, or if it's separately owned?

I wonder what is in that slice stuck onto the house? a narrow closet? a loo?
very bizarre, but maybe partially blocked windows weren't taxed Smile

I have been a naughty boy,and the wife locks me in the room with no supper !!

Totally crazy! You just can't believe they were allowed to do it and that, having done it, they haven't been made to take it down again. Well spotted!

detailed record shot in a well composed image. I don't think they will get planning permission with that snake appearing from the open window,

I hope that's not a fire escape, John? Certainly doesn't live up to the title of Room With a View....
Very well spotted.

Ha ha, you certainly made me smile there MoiraSmile
Sue, I wish you could meet the person who did this, sounds like you'd give them a right old Tongue lashing! Smile
And yes Mick, again I like your train of thought Wink
Suz' glad you still like receiving funny Emails, and I'll send more whenever I get themSmile
And Malc, I'd love to see someone trying to escape from that Window, and shuffle down the Roof onto the hard Tarmac pavement Smile

If the upstairs and downstairs are owned by different people then they've definitely had a falling out - if not before the building work then certainly after Smile As others have already commented, you've spotted and captured a mad piece of work really well and allowed others to have a smile at it in the process.
Regards
Anna
