Old City Homes 旧城院 ...

Old City Homes
旧城院 ...

I heard that this part of the city is going to be re-built for high-end luxurious
condominiums which cost 15 to 20 times more then our house ...

I bet owners of these Old City Homes are smiling in their sleep
as the promises from the developers to buy their land must be very attractive ...

I also believe that no one cares or want to remember these "Ugly" Old City Homes ...

as most people only see them as a site for soar eyes ...

Even when I was photographing them with my tripod,
passers-by looked at me with an indifferent eye as if what beauty do I see
in them to be photographed, some even asked me why and what I was doing ...

I guess you know why I am here ...
as I came here this week to capture the last glimpse
of "charm" of these Old City Homes before there are gone forever ...

All Shots are done with Nikon D90 using 18-105mm lens with
3 exposure -1 to +1 HDR processed using Photomatix ...
Photos shot under RAW format ...

Rusty Old Gate 生锈的铁门 ...

Rusty Gate
生锈的铁门 ...

According to the guard at the entrance of a school, these Rusty Gates
has been there hanging on the side of the fence as long as he can remember ...

根据这所学校的一个守卫，这些生锈的铁门

一直都在那里，应该是有一段很长的时间了...

There must have been some poets or song writers who had
wrote poetries and songs praising
an Old Rusty Gate ...

一定有一些诗人或歌曲作家

写了一些诗歌和歌曲赞美一个生锈的旧锈门 ...

If the poets and song writers are not interested,
who else will be interested in an Old Rusty Gate ...

如果诗人和歌曲作者不感兴趣，谁还会对这些生锈的旧门有兴趣呢 ...

I guess it will be the photographers ...

我想只有摄影人了 ...
