I was at my usual place in front of the computer soon after sunrise when I noticed the nice light that illuminates our street this time of year. I threw on some clothes and went out on the sidewalk with my No.1A Pocket Kodak and a tripod. I made a couple shots on a roll of Fomapan 400 of the house across the street and a couple of our place as well.
The two story Henry Mann house was built in 1905. When we first came to the neighborhood about fifteen years ago, the house was surrounded by about an acre of garden space. About half of that area is now occupied by three concrete block houses that don't have nearly the character of their old neighbor.

I really like that first one, well done!
I need to explore more of Albuquerque when we are there later this year. Your neighborhood looks quiet and nice.
It is nice to see historic architecture being used and preserved. It is interesting to consider that a 100-year-old house is largely useable now. What other products made for individual consumers are usable 100 years later?
There are a lot of little bungalows like ours in our Old Town neighborhood. There was s spurt of new development, but that has slowed, so we are hoping the neighborhood stays much as it is.
