LOOKING at YESTERDAY, NOW!! (057/365 DAYS, 3.0)

I got home in a state of utter exhaustion after my day's work 

and slept from 4 to 7 pm... 

To make a story short, 

Yesterday, 

I felt it was strange that my Monday seemed so "normal", 

busy but no glitch, 

almost too easy. 

That's because this week's special is, 

Monday is happening on Tuesday!!! 

A big workload to deal with, 

a disappointing weather as we were told we'd have some sun 

and I had been planning some experiments 

which required the sun who was a no show 

until a very weak appearance by the end of the day... 

To top it all off, 

a reunion after lunch... 

I almost dozed off!!! 

Almost... 

I'm used to moving after lunch, 

not sitting on my ass... 

So let's just say I went straight home afterwards, 

still annoyed I couldn't take the pictures I wanted. 

A weak gleam of light caught a patch of color in this ever present greyness 

and I looked up. 

It is not the first time I take pics on that block 

but I took another angle at it today. 

The tale of the Two Towers. 

If you look at the picture above, 

you'll notice an architectural detail mimicking a tower on each side of this block. 

The closest here is functional as it holds some windows, 

while the other one is [presumably] just for show.

Still, 

it gives some character from a century ago, 

appearing sophisticated. 

There are a few signs of wear-and-tear on these buildings, 

and it'd be a shame if it all went to sh%t...

It may be just for show, 

but I see it daily and always like seeing it there, 

trying to imagine what the folks were like a century ago, 

possibly some bourgeois-type... 

Nowadays, 

the district seems to be going through some revival 

but it leaves hardly any room for history.

Looking at the texture of the past here. 

Might as well take a good look at it now 

before it might disappear...
