Grunge City

This post is about grungy places and the beauty that can be unexpectedly found in them. First up is the BOSS 400 shipwreck at the time the biggest crane-ship in South Africa. Wrecked in Maori Bay it has since deteriorated beyond this point. The reference fo this pic is at the end of the blog.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this in the V & A waterfront. It is very VERY similar  to the BOSS 400 wreck  I wonder if they allow it to go round Maori Bay..

Fly overs we are all to pleased to drive over them but avoid the underside of them like the plague because it's dirty, dark and often unsafe. Take a moment and admire the curves, texture and the amazing structure.

It is my opinion that these fly overs could be used positively and activated after all it is a free roof often designed in  such a way that it encloses interesting spaces.

a concave space (architecturally significant) with a beautiful view of the mountains.
