A perfect quote for your lovely images - abandoned things always have a certain silence don't you think? It's as though they're holding onto their untold story, quietly accepting their abandoned state...
The empty billboards and abandoned lampshade: stunning. The Confucius quote came just at the right moment. Thank you, also, for the Ken Robinson reference, below. And really, just thanks for showing up, time and again, with these lovely little glints of small things of interest and beauty. They add so much to my life, and I'm not sure I've ever mentioned that. I appreciate it. Cheers, M
