Agood day to use some disposible income

Someone's junk is some one else's treasure. Much of this merchandise is called antiques but in reality they are old items of marginal utility whose new function will be a decorative one. But if it makes people happy who am I to rain on their parade. Enjoy!

Roadside "antiques"

I come from a place where schools teach that the modern age began with the rinascimento . for clarity ai will use that annoying french appellation of renaissance for a movement that started in Italy. But I digress. Therefore when I see all these shops selling so called antiques I get a good laugh. Something that is a mere 50 years old is an antique.  But as long as people buy these outdated items and they are happy who am I to rain on their parade. I myself am an antique of sorts. These images are from a shop having it's wares outdoors. They are interesting images and to me that is sufficient.

So called antiques

The countryside is full of places where these so called antiques are sold. They do make for nice images but I cannot take seriously the calling of these relatively modern items antiques. You must realize that I come from a place where the renaissance is called modern history and where old is really old. Bur who am I to criticize. These images were made with the Olympus EPL-2.
