#monomad challenge for today - Palaces Vol.1

in Black And White3 years ago

Hello and welcome back black and white lovers. I do have many loves, not only love to the monochrome. One of them is also architecture, particularly old buildings like palaces, castles, religious buildings, and so on. What makes those places so special? I think it is an innovative and artistic approach. We must understand that building back in time was much more difficult. Lack of many materials we know today and machines, of course.

What truly is outstanding is the details. You will notice much detailed work and small adding just to get a more luxurious feel and personalization. Are we doing enough to conserve all this legacy? I think not. If you only think about the wars. Bombs were and probably will fall everywhere and heritage buildings are victims as well.

Isn't this amazing how luxury is timeless? Luxuries age very well and maybe we should look at those buildings as investments.
