Paula has chose ‘Through’ as her theme for B&W Sunday today….. I am returning to everyday life and blogging after more than a month. I have had a nice restful time away, but am finding my return quite a challenge as I am having to do so many chores, very wearying!
Anyway, here is ‘Through’ as I have interpreted it (no prizes for guessing where I took this):
a portal to a Colonial Past
See more Through at Paula’s here.
The life of an elderly Londoner and her travels.
We went to France ..... and then we came back.

Mostly photographs with some words by this arty scientist...

Refugees welcome - Flüchtlinge willkommen I am teaching German to refugees. Ich unterrichte geflüchtete Menschen in der deutschen Sprache. I am writing this blog in English and German because my friends speak English and German. Ich schreibe auf Deutsch und Englisch, weil meine Freunde Deutsch und Englisch sprechen.

Great, Sue!
Glad you like it!
Oh dear – even the word chore wears me out!
But I love your image – of course!
Tee hee! Glad you like the photograph, I would have loved to have crossed the threshold and explored, but that would have been trespassing, and very rude of me
Good to see you back, Sue. My goodness, this place looks like it needs a makeover. 🙂
All the places in downtown Havana could do with a makeover – 60 years of neglect.
Full of atmosphere, and inspires thoughts and ideas too.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you, Pete…plenty more thought-provoking stuff to come!
Just a frontier between the life as we know and the life as it is to other people.
Absolutely, I do love your down-to-earth approach, Marcelo!
Love this image. Quite foreboding. Wouldn’t want to be exploring alone in there.
We-ell, maybes my processing made it look daunting….. But I wouldn’t be there at night!
So happy to “see” you again, Sue. As for your return: one thing at a time! Go gently.
You’re not the only one to tell me to go gently! Good to hear from you, Victoria
What a classic look! It would make a great puzzle. I know what you mean about coming back. I took my first blogging and internet break in five years in January and it was blissful. It’s too easy to get lost in the admittedly enjoyable blogging world but all those chores are still there when I get off. 😦

Glad you like it, Janet!

Welcome back. I’ve missed you. And you come back with a multiple flourish. No one else could have produced this photo, so doubly, nay triply, (at least) apt to the theme. Have a Potato Point hug.
Oh, Meg, what lovely comments! And thanks for the Potato Point hug! Have a big hug from me 😊
First of all it is so nice to have you back in blogosphere and secondly it is a pleasure to have you participate, thirdly I would not even try to guess, but tell me was it an easy guess for most followers?
Nobody has guessed, but the country is tagged….
Oh, and thanks for your lovely comment, it was great to have a rest, but it’s good to be back!!
Cuba! I knew it (I should have known it) 😛 to me. The photo is great. I want to see it in colour too.
Downtown Havana…. Glad you like it Paula, and if I remember I’ll show it in colour….
I’ll remind you 🙂
😀😀
It kind of sad, like its history… Great photo, Sue!
Many thanks, Amy!
brilliant!
Thanks!
Gorgeous, Sue – just like you!
😉 Glad you like it, Ann-Christine!
You bounced back, with a little Cuban effort at the good life 🙂 🙂
Not sure I’ve bounced back, Jo…feeling a bit creaky at the moment!
You and me both, chuck! Spent the day surrounded by cistus but a certain person misjudged the length of the walk. I think it was worth it but my back and feet don’t agree 🙂 🙂
Oh, I hope you are giving your back and feet a nice rest today! Somehow I think you won’t be…..😳
Sort of 🙂
Great shot for your return! Welcome back!
Thank you, Angela!
What a great building. Lovely photo
Thank you, glad you liked!
wow
Wow indeed, Gavin!
A moment in time – that hallway would have many stories. Good to see you back Sue!
Thanks, Anna…That hall could tell many a tale, I’m sure!
Wow, imagine that place in it’s prime!
Indeed! The whole of downtown Havana is faded, crumbling, ruined splendour….
Wow! I love this photo…I’m new to your blog and to blogging. I love photos like yours which reflect decay…both sad and beautiful in its own way.
Thank you, glad you liked it
