Very beautiful photos Dr. B! There is something about the ghost-like stillness of abandoned buildings that is so attractive - a nostalgia not one's own but, nevertheless, felt through crumbling walls and broken windows. Earlier today I watched this documentary on abandoned buildings on cultureunplugged. It is in Italian but with subtitles: http://www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/watch-online/play/6214/Empty-Houses

Thanks, Manuel! And thanks for the doc link; I hadn't heard of it. It looks great.
