Nice picture Pablo

Now and Then thread here.

I have a series of colour photos took just before it was demolished. I however stole them off someone on facebook with out their permission without them knowing so I don't think I should post them really. I don't even know them or have them on my friend list so I can't ask either.

Just put them up. If they object you can always remove them. They should be grateful folk want to see them. If they don't want anyone to share, don't put them on the net. I will credit folk if I know who'sphoto it is.
