Urban Decay

Drove by this site and had to jump out of the car and take some shots. I think the dump site is temporary and the land belongs to the city. Anyway, it hasn't been there for very long and will probably be gone soon. This is the same area where Seattle held its terrorist attack re-enactment drills last year.

Two images.

First is a church that as you can see has a borded up window. It's a beautiful building, but the city built a bulding next to it and it covered the stained glass. So not it's boarded up.


This is the old Schmidt's brewery when they used to make Pig's Eye and Mike's Hard Lemonade.



Hope you like them.

I thought you guys might appreciate this almot 'post apocalyptic' view from Essex, England.

The colour in the sky is produced entirely from a large city on the left hand side. A rather nasty show of light pollution :)

I love the way the photo blends from the cloudy, 'urban' area on the left to the clear, star-filled sky on the right.

Hope you like it.

just a little crack in the road that caused a trip.

This isn't a great photo - it was a cloudy day yesterday - but I couldn't resist getting a shot of the monstrous hole that the Perth City Council has punched into the middle of the city.
There's a new train line being built underneath the city, and all the buildings lining William Street have been torn down layer by layer. It's beginning to look like an asteroid fell to earth.

(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

One evening earlier this year I was meandering around Toronto while I was waiting for an event to start. On a whim, I wandered into an alleyway behind a row of buildings in the Annex. What I found was quite stunning, and relatively unknown. All the times I've been in the city since then I haven't had my cameras, but yesterday I finally managed to get around to photographing it."
