A once beautiful and productive field laid to waste for speculative

industrial land use.

 

Thanks to all the comments and suggestions previously given.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Marc,

 

the structure you're refering to is simply a rural power box. The difference in field of view is probably due to the fact that one was taken with a wide lens, and the other with a narrower lens and a different camera. The time between them is little more than a year, when it was bought by a corporate land developer whose plans have since stalled leaving the land as you see it on the right. The orange survey marker, deep tracks, and partial grading are clues that it is not just some kind of fall ploughing.

 

thanks,

Aaron

Thank you for the comment Jose... indeed we must. I'm routinely amazed we are able to feed as many people as we do, what with urban and industrial sprawl claiming some of the most productive areas.

 

Cheers,

Aaron

Wow. That is some powerful image and sad a the same time. It trully look like two totally different places. Even the road looks ugly.

Congrats on your great shots

Alex
