My new thing is taking an interest in things that are not necessarily inherently attractive, and I have dubbed this the "ugly-pretty". This city is full of ugly alongside pretty; an 18th Century building next to a 1970s tower of apartments, an old abandoned building with doors and windows that have been cemented in to prevent people occupying the building.
These buildings for example; their form, colours and the architecture interests me, but not because it´s pretty, because it´s almost kind of ugly. I walk past here every day and I love the way the building looks at different times of the day, according to the light. Here it´s late afternoon, when the sky has a soft glow and you know that darkness is soon coming.
