The Ark - February 2014 (Updated)

The Ark
February 2014

I visited with Special K and 3 others. The opportunity came up last minute, this was a real spur of the moment decision to go and see this beauty.
I text Special K, having not long dropped him home from some other gallivants (watch this space!)
Me: Roadtrip?
K: When?
Me: Now
K: Okay.
Me: I'll be there in 10

There's more here than you first realise, every corner you turn has something to offer, and it's all just so photogenic. I still manage to smile after wiping my tired
watering eyes, knowing where we're about to go. 4 hours later and we're still snapping away, playing the piano and convincing Special K to pose for a nude shot.

This Synagogue was built in 1936, and abandoned in 2007. It has been on the Heritage at risk register since 2010 and the future looks promising for this beautiful
grade II listed art deco building to be used once more.

Surprisingly this is one of my favourites

Slowly deteriorating, left to right.

It's difficult to imagine this is the same place, I couldn't help but get a couple of selfies.

The scrolls were neatly rolled up and left on one of the nearby seats when I left, it was sad enough that they had been left behind. I had to capture it when i saw it was on the floor there though.
I'm not sure he would appreciate me posting the nude!
It was taken by the piano where my self portrait is.

Nice one Sir! I was going to post that I hoped someone with a bit of reverence for the place would pick it up. Your actions and post beat me to it. Over the years I have found that showing a caring attitude can open many doors - figuratively speaking and is also beneficial to the whole community.

Might be why I didn't actually spot it, well done sir.

You want to see what else is in my top drawer... and I'm not talking about the frilly knickers!

 

[Mars Lander]

Well done for taking them off the floor, can't get over how they got left when you think how revered they are supposed to be.

 

[Landie_Man]

Absolutely Epic. Wish I could have gotten here,
