Malik,
William,
Many thanks to you both!

Superbe image ensoleillée et très colorée !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you, Madeleine!

a stunning capture

Many thanks, Reinhard!

Un étonnant immeuble au milieu d'un village. Une ruine réhabilitée probablement...

No, a 1970s build, as with most of this 'urbanización' where I live. It houses the offices of the resident's association.
Many thanks, Pierre!

bien vue**********************bon mardi Andy !

Thank you again, Valeriane and thank you too for your visit!

Awesome... :-)

Thank you, Jyryk!

Interesting to see

Many thanks, Gillian!

It seems as if there lives a castle - Fan...

Thank you, Udo!
Appearances can be deceptive. It is the office of the housing association for our gated community (although the gate is still there, it is no longer manned after a majority vote by the residents, about ten years ago, who obcviously didn't want to pay for it, )

Was ist das für ein Gebäude lieber Andy,diese Bauart gefällt mir sehr gut,schön hast du es gezeigt :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you, Güni!
Please see my reply to Pierre, above.

Danke lieber Andy,hab mich grade schlau gemacht :))

Surprenante architecture dans ce village assez classique
Bonne journée

The whole estate (including this administrative office building building) is no older than the late 1970s.
Thank you, Krisonteme!

4 fenêtres qui ne passent pas inaperçues !

I like the building - at least it's different!
Many thanks, Léopold!

One of few photos where the refuse bins really add to the composition- as does the red colour of the car:-)

It's the colour combo I saw first, Gudrun!
Many thanks!

A very interesting color palette surrounds this original administrative office
Well captured, Andy!

Thank you, Judite.
I agree with you about the colour palette!

au moins il y a la couleur pour égayer....le bâtiment est original

Many thanks, Simone!

I quite like the look of this administration building............it's a little out-of-the-ordinary and a bit of a statement piece I suspect.

Not keep on the bins to be honest, but they have to go somewhere.......and at least there nice and colourful.

Thank you, Keith.
These are the nearest bins to us and so I volunteer for the daily task as it adds 2,000 paces to my target! I agree they aren't ideally placed aesthetically but the colours tipped the balance between me taking a shot or walking past!

Believe it or not there's a group on here for bins:

Most beautiful!

love all the colors

Many thanks, Annemarie!

A very colourful Image Andy.
All the best TOZ

Many thanks, Gordon!

A most unusual admin building but it is at least quite attractive unlike many I have seen. Bins in photos -what next - perhaps fences or benches !!!!

Regards and keep up the paces. Herb

Thank you, Herb! Any doubt I had about taking the shot due to the bins and the car where they are, were largely dispelled because of the magnificent light really transforming all the colours; so I thought 'what the hell' and took the shot!

Très original. C'est bien les communes qui font l'effort de donner une autre vie à des bâtiments dont la destination initiale a changé.

Apparently this was built quite recently - at the same time as the rest of the estate - 1970s / 80s and it has always been the administrative offices for the estate!
I know the building does look much older!
Thank you, Pearl!

That is one beautiful building - and not the usual kind of building for council matters. It does look rather small to house council workers' offices.

Well it's big enough Jenny. The estate is reasonably small!
You've seen the extent of it in that field shot where I put a note with 'we live here!' on it!
It's not the town of Algete itself with 40,000 inhabitants or so, just a small suburb of it with about 3,000' residents (3,001 including me!)
So it's not a 'town hall', just a few rooms were the few officials work.
Many thanks!.

dacht eerst dat het een oude windmolen was

When I first saw it Fred, I wondered if it had been an old Moorish watchtower!

Hi Andy
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
The white walls stand out so well here. Who has the job of cleaning them?
Best Wishes, HWW,, and stay safe!!
Peter

Not me! That's for certain, Peter!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Andy

très belle photo colorée, pleine de charme magnifique cette tour Andy j'aime beaucoup Andy belle et douce journée

De plus, une voiture Française, ce sont donc des gens de gpût

If you mean persons 'de goût' rather than des gens de gpùt, then I am in full agreement with you, Jean Paul - thank you!

Can't get away from the bins these days Andy.
It is still a very nice shot and good to see where you are living.

That's why I put it in that new(ish) group a Matrix of Modern Times!
Many thanks, Rosa!
I'm now in Cornwall - a complicated mix of ailments amongst the family and other stuff coming together at the wrong time and I was the only bod at hand, as it were. My oncologist had always said I couldn't travel but there is a new drug for people in my position (without an effective immune system) so I took it and I'm in Cornwall for two weeks - but without a car and without a driving licence thanks to brexit. So I'll take photos but of inland Cornwall around Saint Day, weather permitting. it's cats and dogs ight now and as I had forgotten what that was like it's quite refreshing really, for a change!

Ein ungewöhnlicher Wohnturm.
