The Coat Of Life


I was instantly drawn to the peeling paintwork on this empty and rundown shop. There's at least five different colours here, put on by painters down the years. I wonder if each layer can be carbon dated to see how long ago it was applied?

  3. If each layer could talk, just imagine the stories and untold secrets it could tell.........

    ...... like inside a tree showing us the period of life in that building.

    Inspired!

    Nottingham has changed a lot since I last saw her in 1993, GREAT CITY, miss her so much!
