Indeed.
Built for 20,000 but only around 5,000 living there.

Mind blowing Debbie. The composition is just right. Leads you in then stop, there’s a wall and beyond layers making an alien like face with such a blue sky 😲

Glad you like it, Brian. I wanted to capture the emptiness of this new town. I am told that building is supposed to be a theatre, though it looks more like an abandoned multi-storey car park. I’m hoping to see a livelier version of this town in a couple of months when it hosts a photo festival.

This is one of the new towns built to replace those destroyed in the Belice Valley earthquake. The quietness is partly due to lack of inhabitants – by the time the towns were built many had emigrated.
