The Bridge Boys' Home, Jimbolia, Timis County, Romania

The shot below (early June 2003) shows the house at the left of the picture after a massive deconstruction of the back resulted in about two thirds of it being removed. The building on the right belongs to the neighbours (but is for sale for €10,000 and would be really nice to have, BTW).

The small building at the back of the property used to be a pig pen (and certainly smells like one) and still has a long-drop toilet. The building has now been removed except for the toilet, the back wall, and the side wall at the right end.

In front of the pig pen (shown at left) is a big hole that will eventually be a cellar underneath the kitchen. It has been dug even deeper since this photo was taken.

Behind the pig pen (at the left of the picture below) is a large field which belongs to the Boys' Home and will be used to grow vegetables etc. The strawberry patch is in the foreground - they were in season in the first half of June.

Note that the above photos are very wide angle, so there is some distortion. For example, the two brick walls in the bottom photo are actually at right angles to each other.
