Sometimes the boredom/outrage just bubbles over and there we are: back on the "naughty step"againMy apologies, I am sorry if my contributions were inappropriate. It was not meant as a political statement, therefore I tried to take the name out of the text. I am sorry if anyone was offended.
Yes, misaligned...this is exactly the way it looked to me.
I can understand what you are saying, but this wasn't the case. I really tried to tell what the swedish newspapers said about the restoration. But I agree with I ended up on the "naughty step".Sometimes the boredom/outrage just bubbles over and there we are: back on the "naughty step"again
No worries from me, FamPed...it gave me a good chuckle.My apologies, I am sorry if my contributions were inappropriate. It was not meant as a political statement, therefore I tried to take the name out of the text. I am sorry if anyone was offended.
I also read that part of the facade had broken and fallen, and since the building was privately owned, the renovation was to restore stability to the facade, not to restore the work itself.I read on internet that "this" happened in a building renovation 10 years ago and has been discovered now.
The building that was built in 1922 is private and therefore the town hall had nothing to do with the renovation because in this case only checks estructural issues.
It was discovered by a man who lives at the other side of the street.
One would have to ask why anything was done to the original - looks fine to my untutored eye.This time in Palencia

I wonder the same thing. It seems too bizarre.I can’t help but think that this is all fake news.
I read about it in an article in a British newspaper, not Facebook.I can’t help but think that this is all fake news. The caption below the photograph says “Courtesy of Facebook” ??
Perhaps the photo was taken before the facade crumbled??One would have to ask why anything was done to the original - looks fine to my untutored eye.
And where do you think yet another reporter who may never have been closer to Spain than Benidorm got their "story"?I read about it in an article in a British newspaper, not Facebook.
So, I guess that means we can't believe anything we read?!?And where do you think yet another reporter who may never have been closer to Spain than Benidorm got their "story"?
Source is always a good starting point, though getting to the source is usually a challenge. Motive is always a good question: As in "why is this being brought to my attention, who gains?". When I was still salaried; these days I audit pro-bono, I'd always try to look over the hump to see who was ducking for cover. It was a neighbour that noticed. I've always appreciated my very observant neighboursSo, I guess that means we can't believe anything we read?!?
Yep, that's how it goes. Best bet is to try to read something in the local news and in the local language. I wondered whether it is a hoax. But it seems to be real. This camera team from RTVE Castilla y Leon went there and local people, including the person who spotted it first, are looking at it and pointing at it. If not, it is a really elaborate hoax.No single article has the complete story. It seems as if someone reads an article and then writes another and this is ending up like a game of telephone.
These are unusual times. I'm surprised how many details I've noticed in my immediate neighbourhood during the last six months or so that I had never noticed before.It was a neighbour that noticed. I've always appreciated my very observant neighbours
@FamPed !My apologies, I am sorry if my contributions were inappropriate. It was not meant as a political statement, therefore I tried to take the name out of the text. I am sorry if anyone was offended.
We grab bits and pieces from the internet and think that we know what happened or have reason to believe to know what happened. Some say it happened before 2011 while others say it happened in 2017. Apparently, nobody knows when it happened, why it happened, how it happened and who did it.Possibly, in my opinion, the city council and the architect committed irregularities, and both the bank that owns part of the building and the other owners, thought about the possibility of requesting a smaller, simpler, cheaper building license ... because at the after all "nothing ever happens" ...
"Even the journalists at the Cadena Ser radio network, which has its newsroom in the building, admit to being oblivious." according to the El Pais article.Yep, that's how it goes.

Yep. It's not about art, it's about artisanship. I have a lot of respect for artisans. Which is why I don't get it that dilettantism and lack of skills and training should be elevated and such "work" preserved. Only my opinion of course.It’s not like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa.
I do understand, and I too would prioritise under-appreciated artisanship over the far-too-hyped ‘art’. Exceptions apply in both directions.Yep. It's not about art, it's about artisanship.

I am fascinated by the body proportions (head vs. arms) of the guy on the left.Not so funny but still a bit funny: someone took a photo and uploaded it to Wikipedia in July 2020, without noticing "potato head". He noticed it only now, with all the excitement in social and news media.
