Behind the Scenes

Sometimes dereliction or decrepitude is hidden. The front of a building looks great; the back, well. Not. This is behind a pub called The Wire Works in Lindley. It just shows how the 'paint' tends to peel at the edges - we live in a world where beauty is painted on and is skin deep. Take a look at the edges, and chaos is beginning to reassert itself. That isn't a bad thing. Nature is strong, and we forget we need to work with it, rather than banish it.
