Really a beautiful blog! The reason I’m messaging is I just started a new blog (fuckyeahconstruction) a sort of architecture history blog. If you could check it out and lemme know if you like it, maybe feature one of the pics, that’d be awesome! But if all you do is visit that’d also be ok by me too. Thanks a lot! -TJ
Great collection of historic architecture photos you’ve got started there TJ, well done!I hope some of my followers appreciate what you are doing and decide to follow your blog as well!
