Several asked if the plant in the previous image is Honeysuckle. I feel certain it is and I was totally surprised when I saw the comments asking about it because as much as I enjoy it's smell and think it's pretty I don't normally overlook the plant because I'm allergic to it and it makes me sneeze.

As I walked between these buildings I was concentrating on where I placed my foot each time I took a step fully expecting to see a snake.

In fact I was concentrating so intently I overlooked something so obviously detrimental that when I viewed the photos I couldn't believe my eyes. I've said many times how amazed I am at what the eye misses, but the camera captures.

I didn't miss the mold growing on the wood and stone or the pungent odor it emitted. What I missed is in this photo, but not as noticeable as in other images I'll be posting.


It was certainly a depressing place, with a roof which came down over the upper windows and nearly obscured them. It was all very still, very gloomy and very ominous.
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
