This was made on a visit to a very dilapidated building – all the plaster was very crumbly & turned sandy if touched.
Anywhere else & I would never have been allowed in; for safety reasons (read ‘jobs worth’). But this is Oman ! so coffee & dates and polite conversation with the custodian, along with an explanation that I wanted photographs before it fell-down completely 🙂
I wonder if Oman has their own archive of photos of places like that.
I am not sure…. certainly would expect documentation on the ones that they refurbish (rebuild…) but the more obscure and out of the way places, probably not.
A retirement project that my wife and I intend, is a book of Oman images – there don’t seem many B&W collections published.
