Occasionally when I'm riding my bike around where I live, I'm struck by some of the older style beach houses which are still standing after forty odd years. Where I live, by the Pacific Ocean is a thriving built up tourist region... But areas at the southern end and close to the beach still aren't fully developed and homes which were originally built as cheap weekenders or holiday homes, continue standing year in, year out. 
Most of these places have a certain aged character which really appeals me. I like the beach house dilapidation and weathered timber, old window panes and faded re-paints.
Some have been partially renovated or remodelled but thats appealing to me too. I love riding around with my camera or iphone and often take photo's and wonder who lives there, and how these places keep standing.
