IMMINENT DEMISE

A Wonderful Image! Nice and pure, just to my liking, and of course a falling down building certainly helps too.

Glad you like it.

One of many dilapidated and abandoned structures found more and more

commonly around our countryside.

Beautiful!

 

Thanks for looking and commenting.

really, when you sneeze you should face away from old buidlings ;-) Very nice composition. As to the framing, even the hills in the background support this perspective, as they go down towards the shack, almost as if holding it from going horizontal. Good exposure. Cheers, Micheal

 

I'm rather pleased with this one myself. It required tramping through a bit of snow, and climbing over some fences, and I think it was worthwhile. If I ever get my printer hooked up, this is going to be one of my first to print.

Oh gee, Dave, this is gorgeous! I'm talking absolutely beautiful.

 

Everything is right. The sharpness, the contrast, the composition. And, first and foremost, the subject. It says abandonment.

 

The is first rate work, in any league.

 

 

I'm sincerely grateful that you like this one. It certainly does strike me as something you might find interesting. Thanks.

Great composition David - really likes this photo !

Thanks. Much appreciated.

lovely picture. i have just planned to go to russia for a weekend as soon as it will snow. Hope to find some landscape like this! Is a meditative point of view!

Thank you very much. Good shooting in Russia. I'm most envious.

Of all the wonderful photos in your portfolio, this one took me to a place in my past. My grandpa used to take us from Topeka, Kansas, to ghost towns in Colorado. There are more and more places in Kansas that look like this now. Beautiful, cold photo.

Thanks. A week ago I was driving through Kansas, and I did see some places similar to this. It's more and more common throughout our country. I'm concerned. I hope foolishly.

I just enjoying your portfolio David, And stick on this image. It is a beautiful clear composition, even the decay is looks so good and artistic. I like your images, because, you showing the adhere face of America, hardly seen in propaganda or Hollywood images. I thing, this subject come out best in the winter season, with the snow. "Cold storage".

 

Have a good day and Merry Christmas or, a Happy Holiday Season and a healthy prosperous New Year.

 

My best regards; Bela from Toronto.

Thanks. I'm glad to see you cruising through some of the older stuff, and not just looking at the latest posts. I'm very fond of this one too.

Very nice work on this and the others in this set. The snow adds a lot by reducing things to the bare essentials needed for a powerful composition.

You are so right about the snow. Without it this would suffer greatly. Thanks for th look and for your version of decrepit. This last week I've been working on completely redoing the landscaping of my back yard. After hauling ten yards of fill dirt, and twenty yards of humus, and now needing decomposed granite for the walkways, I feel a bit like these structures. Beat up, run down, falling apart, and very old.

Very nice shot!
