Depends on who's looking. I think it's a beautiful photo.

Shabby chic. (I don't know where I found that Berlin photo, but I found the nonchalance of those two pedestrians most impressive.)

Ok, it may be ugly now but I'm seeing hints of something with great potential underneath the wires and paint.

That might have been the most optimistic thing I've said all week.

-K-, I'm with you. Some age marks just make us (or it) look beat up. Character? Sometimes, not always.

UGLY? I like the way paint peels and curls across a surface, random but patterned...

Yes the attraction of pretty decay again. If I look good then the brown is behind the white or is it the other way around. Perhaps rust from cast iron that push the paint away. Still the details that are unthinkable today. Thanks for showing.
