THEY TORE IT DOWN! Old Freight Depot, Salisbury, North Carolina (Click to view larger)

Urban Landscape: "They" were Norfolk and Southern, and the old depotwas torn down because of questions of "liability." The lawyers willbe the ruin of us all! This photo was actually shot after dark, butthis version in particular has had the levels raised and curvesapplied. Comments welcome.

This lighting is fantastic! It is completely diffuse and there are almost no shadows.  It gives a "lifeless" feel to the image which enhances (to me very significantly) the narrative. Excellent!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Jim.   Well, yes, the lighting gets pretty diffuse after the sun goes down.

 

Please hit the right arrow to see the other two versions with even less light.

Lannie,  This is a super documentary and another sad commentary on the loss of a lost culture - in this case railroads.  The angle in this one makes the image to me.  I too think you did a great job with light and color.  While the image looks like a blight at first, it grows on me.  I guess that's the point.  Nice job. Larry

Thanks, Larry.  I'm glad some people are getting it.
