RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Monday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
Railway station Prague-Vysehrad,
The Czech Republic has a good concept of monument conservation. And that's why most of the monuments are kept in good condition. But we have slow judgments ...
This building, a state-protected cultural monument built in 1905 in Art Nouveau style, is a moment before the fall.
The building has not been used as a railway station since 1960. It was reconstructed in 1980-89. But the reconstruction did not work.
In 1990, the building was sold to a speculator. Who sold it and sold it again ... And now there are litigation. And the building is dilapidating ... Fortunately, this is at least a very exceptional situation in Prague.
This is such a great photo, but looking at it small in the comment section does not do it justice. When it is blown up to full size and you can see all the different graffiti across the building, it adds so much more life and depth to the image. Great shot.
