Abandoned Heritage, a photo from Hawalli, East-Central

Photographer's Note

Not a great pciture I know but one which record the plight of many of the few remaining historic buildings in Kuwait. Thanks to the washout from the concrete trucks serving the large construction site next door, there is at least a metre thick depth of concrete that has oozed into this little building and has therefore rendered it useless. The concrete supplier responsible should be seriously reprimanded for this but sadly old Kuwaiti buildings do not enjoy the protection that they would be offered in other countries.

Hi Simon, I very much like the mood of this photo and you have exploited the tones very well. Again, I thought I'd try a gritty conversion into B&W. Please let me know your thoughts. Stephen

Hi Simon,
I agree not the best of images but I would still critique this for your POV and excellent note. Well Done!

Hi Simon I like the balance in the picture I am so glad that soemone other than me also feels for the plight of the historical buildings in this place. Please keep highlighting the problem maybe soemone will pay attention, actually there are people who are concerned for i have recently watched a serial on KTV 2 about the same problem.
