I agree. I haven’t delved into a lot of it, but what I have, I too find fascinating.

All that wild sea has certainly done it damage… That must’ve been quite some building back in the day. Here is mine, A rain damaged Irish house: https://suejudd.com/2025/11/30/decay/

It looks like a stunning place, Debbie. And what Brian said about nature. This I’m sure once fine building looks worse than e.g. Heidelberg castle, a ruin for 400 years. – I have backyard decay: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/11/30/lets-take-the-front-entrance-instead/

The Malecon has plenty on show. Blasted by wind and sea the once-fine sea front buildings find it hard to survive

Build where you shouldn’t and reap these rewards. Nature isn’t very subtle when she wants you to leave

It is great for photos as long as you don’t get too close. But dangerous for those still living inside.
