Flaking Facade

I don't quite know why but I found this facade of a closed-up small business rather beautiful – in a sad way. Maybe it was the unusul angle of the facade entrance itself, diagonally thrust almost out into the street; maybe it was the weeping wall and flaking paint revealing numerous coats and thus the passing of time; or perhaps it was the little splashes of red, blue and green on the glass door. Doors are always an interesting motive: they open to many possibilities of the imagination and I feel there are numerous stories here. Or maybe that's just me. Location: Trier, Germany
