It's all about the character. When buildings are created as an art form and then ageit is still great art. When our buildings here in the USA are built it is for the purpose of being bigger. Then when it gets old it just looks outdated and ready to be blown up for something bigger.
The buildings just age better in Europe. Me, not so much. I'm still not chic... but shabby.
ReplyDeleteParis does have charm not often seen anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteSure does! When my paint peels, I just look lazy...
ReplyDeleteIt has so much more charm, history and magic!
ReplyDeleteIt's true. Maybe it's just the difference between shabby old buildings (there) and a shabby new ones (here). Or maybe it's just Paris. :~}

ReplyDeleteSauf peut-être pour ceux qui y habitent.
ReplyDeleteShowing its age or not, it's still got character.
ReplyDeleteWe don't call this shabby. It is gracefully weathered.
ReplyDeleteAlain, perhaps.
