Interesting. Your pp brings a feeling of an edgy slide towards decadence: "This too will pass". In fact, I get that from many, many of your images, Pete, most memorably the series from your - was it? - aunt's house. Someone's old house. Time passes, and we will all be forgotten...unless I take this photo! But it's late, and I'm possibly dreaming. Must go to bed...zzz

Thanks, Rob and that is interesting as it is one of the themes I am so interested in. I have always been drawn to semi dystopian visions - JG Ballard etc - and the element of decay or maybe passing by is always attractive to me. The images of the house you are referring to are of Ina's mother's house and there is that element in them. It appears to have changed little over the years but you know that soon it will. It is a ghost ahead of its time. This station is a bit like this too. It is changing, being modernised slowly, and I suspect most of those who use it don't notice. The stylish old trains will disappear but at the moment they form a link. And when you travel to Prague by train you flash past small towns, some with modernised houses, and in the background, the old remnants of industry and of the past regime.

A ghost ahead of it's time - I like that. The title of your next book!

Pete, you should go to Tallinn before it is too late. The old medieval walled city and now ageing soviet appartment blocks and municipal buildings, surrounded by a growing and generally well designed modern city.
