Prefab Paradise #3 - a photo on Flickriver

Prefab Paradise #3

            Everything depends on the weather and perspective. This prefab of the type W-70 could have aswell been looking as beautiful as the other ones shown in my Prefab Paradise series, if not for the depressing, foggy, gloomy weather, which makes for a perfect setting for pictures discrediting Eastern European architecture.

I came across this settlement of prefabs during my short trip in Żukowo while waiting for a cargo train to pass by. It is most likely constructed in the 1980s and is currently undergoing a thermo-modernisation, just like other prefabs in Poland.

As always, while photographing in such areas, you are being closely watched by a group of old ladies, staring at you from their windows, with their cats accompanying them.
