Nicolaki, they seem so tiny!!! of course a tiny balcony is better that no balcony at all...

Dacotah # 27. November 2008, 01:32

I was thinking the same thing Angeliki.

the "inspector" in me sees also the giant crack on the top floor...that is an indication that the ground is shifting backwards...the no drain on the balconies, that means flies and mosquitoes in the summer..
aluminum rail on the first balcony loose waiting one strong wind to injure the first passing by......
:lol now you know what I do all day long !

Where are the supports for those balconies?

ellinidata # 27. November 2008, 06:15

nope! but because they are so small the floor extension will handle the weight, just don't have 5-10 teenagers there, it will collapse in no time

If I had to inspect a place like this , it wouldn't pass approval, and I would have had to issue fines .

I am not an inspector - but my first thought was: They're all empty and doors are closed. Maximum one person per balcony. I saw alienation and loneliness in this photograph.

Alienation and loneliness and a shutting out of others.

Hey guys. What a lot of comments. Good eyes you all have

It´s a house with very small and poor flats. It expires a tobacco yellow sadness

People in big coats and pale faces come out of there with their yellow discount plastic bags. Ready to get the days portion of beer.
The balconies are most often used to cool cases of beer in the winther and in the summer they´re using them as dog yards

In the summer it´s a tower of barkin´ balconies

A tower of barking balconies - what a tragic, yet comic, thought.

nopanic # 27. November 2008, 14:58

Yes. I often cope with things that way. I don´t want to get numb

ricewood # 27. November 2008, 15:01

Yes! Let that be the last thing in the world to happen

nopanic # 27. November 2008, 16:32

Yes...sure Allan. I´ve become more "nøgtern" with age. I´m not sure what the english word is?

ricewood # 27. November 2008, 16:36

Level-headed?

nopanic # 27. November 2008, 16:43

Hmm..feels right when you say it. Good rythm

ricewood # 27. November 2008, 16:44

I heard someone say that sometime.

nopanic # 27. November 2008, 22:08

Ok...level-headed it is, thankyou

DBabbit # 29. November 2008, 03:32

nøgter means sobering or thoughtful in English. I could deal with beer coolers - not too sure about barking balconies though.

How expressive just some balconies can be.

Lovely shot, nonetheless.

Poor doggies!

nopanic # 7. December 2008, 23:53

I agree Elly. The most odd things can be expressive..even this column of woofs

A roomful of woofs is better than a balconey of them! And speaking of - Binky has been going nuts for the past hour, and finally wore himself out. It's pitch black outside and the man that rents our farmland is out on his cotton harvester in the field just outside the house.
