I digged up an old city.
You like it ?

Great stuff! Really sharp, great conversions.

That would be a really cool place to hike around!
And your photos are great!

Yes, I love that scenery there.
Still a few factories are working, but the most of them are closed around 15 years ago.

Lots of poverty too in that city. Mining and steel industry of years ago.


There is a lot of graffiti around:

Because the option was available in my photo editor ;-)

No, I thought it would look more dark or worse than it is.
