The French........

Well spotted and captured Keith.

wonderful........

sehr unterschiedliche gemalte Szenen

Jolie palette de graffitis!!!!

Always worth recording the changes in my opinion (I often wish I could go back and take some photos I missed and would value now)

Same here Colin :(

Very interesting, colorful facade!

A colourful and interesting collection on the front of the old Bakers shop Keith, No call for shop space in this part of Southsea I assume,
But it's a terrific capture and I do like the Zoo poster and can only wonder who Big Al was.

Thanks Roger.........pleased you like it. This little arcade has been boarded up for at least 5 years (and probably more). The frontage has been decorated many times my various street artists over the years. I pop back now and then when I'm in the area just to see what's changed.

Can't help with Big Al I'm afraid :-))

It’s a nice fassade. A lot of colors, patterns, words…Really worth to present it !

Some good panels of art there Keith. The French "what" I wonder!
A good and well captured shot. I agree with Colin. I wish I had taken more street shots 20, 30 or 40 years ago!

Thanks Rosa. This little arcade has been boarded up for at least 5 years (and probably more) and having wracked what's left of my brain, I can't remember what it used to be called :-(

It took a pandemic to get me out taking more shot's like this :-))

As I commented on another of our continental contributions yesterday, the world is getting full of these mini art galleries on buildings and surfaces that should really have a much better purpose. A great shame, I think, that these old shops should now only be fit for such things as this. Colourful and interesting, maybe - good -no way! ~ On the other hand, your capture of the moment, as usual is spot on. Well done Keith.

Keep happy. Herb

I know what you mean Herb...........not everyone like to see this sort of thing. Personally I think that (when done well), it can brighten up otherwise dark, dank and boring areas, lift the spirits and discourage other vandalism............and, of course they're very photogenic.

Glad you like the shot..........and thanks, as always.

Thank you to everyone who has dropped in and left a comment and/or a yellow star! Always appreciated...........and it makes sharing worthwhile :-))

Photo extrêmement intéréssante de par sa composition.(Comme tu en as l'habitude Keith) Par contre là "Le Français" a quelque peu négligé l'entretien de sa devanture. Sais tu quelque chose du pourquoi de cette dénomination ? En haut à droite on semble voir le nom du propriétaire avec une date (1937) Les couleurs des differentes publicités agrémentent (et restaurent) cette devanture.

There is obviously a word missing, but I really can't remember what the little arcade of shops used to be called............it has been closed and boarded up for quite a few years now. Nearly all the shops in this road are very old and most of them need renovation, but it is a deprived area and the council just don't have the money to get it done.

I think the posters and artwork brighten it up a little. Thanks for stopping by Jean Paul.

Hier gibt es viel zu entdecken. Der Laden hat sicher schon bessere Zeiten gesehen.
Ein interessantes Zeitdokument, Keith!
