Echo Lost

Faved the top one. Beautiful!

Nooooooooo! Oh that is so sad. I know it was out of use and in advanced decay but it had tremendous character (perhaps you gave it tremendous character).
These are a beautiful memorial.

Top one is my favourite.

Woow!

So so gorgeous!! Just wow.

Love number 3. I like the formalism of it.

Twiglet, thanks. :)

SB, thank you and no, it wasn't me, they did have character. I'm more grieved about this than I can say. The landscape just isn't the same anymore.

Thank you, R. I might print them one day, right now they just make me sad.

Thank you, Rhys. :)

Thanks, Shitake.

Thanks, Wendle. Well, they were gorgeous. No more.

Thanks, Taniwha. They were so much a part of the landscape, now it seems empty and wounded.

Thank you, George. I wish the people who have inherited lands weren't so eager to tear everything down. The old Roller Mills in Glen Ullin was slated to be torn down as well. It's probably gone by now.

I love these. Superb shots. Very ghostly.

Thanks, Mysteritmo. I miss them something terrible; they were a wonderful place to explore and they housed a lot of birds too.

That is so so sad. I love the shape of this building so much, and I never tire of you shooting it. That is very bad.

Exactly, Nige. It's bad. And flat out depressing. I guess I'll have to go old elevator hunting next Spring. Even if I find any, it won't be the same. Thank you.

superb shots - just so wrong for them to go

like your header :)

Is that you, Viv? Thank you, and yes, it feels all manner of wrong. They would have eventually collapsed on their own, 10, 20 years down the road. They should have been allowed to reach a hundred years old. Thanks, had to get a winter header up. :)

:( pity they tore them down, they were gorgeous and your photos showed them well.

Thank you, Silar.

I love these

Thank you, Mara. I wish I had shot them more now.

I'm so sorry Caine, I know how it hurts the heart when parts of the place one loves are torn away

these shots are excellent, stark, beautiful... a sad taste of things to come

xx

Dhamaka, you understand perfectly and I thank you for that. xx

oooh. quite lovely.

Wonderful pictures. It makes me very sad too when buildings are demolished, you can probably tell that from my blog, I feel very connected to alot of buildings

Thanks, Billion.

Thank you Orbit, and yes, I can tell. I'm sure you understand all too well how I feel about it.

#3 is my fav :o)

Thank you, Tomasz. :)

Awesome shots. I have faved the top one. Glad that you were able to capture some photos before they were pulled down. Love the bottom image as well.

Very sad. Such a shame that what I can only describe as vernacular industrial buildings aren't appreciated. The kind of thing that many locals won't think about until they note their absence.

I saw silos like this in another context recently, and my immediate thougth was of yourself and Rick.

Top shot is lovely

I love the composition of the second one...

What a shame they've gone.
These are very beautiful shots but it's just not the same, is it?

Thank you, Pepperdew.

Thank you, JD. Yes, a lot of places aren't really seen at all, and aren't missed until they are gone. I'm fond of old buildings, bits of history, and they are vanishing at an alarming rate.

Thank you, Benjancewicz.

Thank you, EJ. No, it's not the same at all.

That's very sad. Shame they couldn't have had a protection order slapped on them or something.
At least people have your wonderful photos to remember them by.

Thank you, Cariadus. They were privately owned, so there wasn't anyway to protect them.
