Still one of my favourite top down abstract aerial shots of my series called aftermath.
Be sure to check out the whole series: www.philipgunkel.de/home/aerial/aftermath-ii/
This short series illustrates the aftermaths of the brown coal exploitation from 1980-2015 in an industrialised area in Brandenburg, Germany.
To mine 220 million tons of brown coal, one of the most harmful ways to produce energy with a huge climate damaging impact and comparable the highest carbon dioxide emissions, several villages had to be resettled during this time period and a huge region now fights with the aftermaths of these immense industrial pollutions.
From ground level, some parts of the landscape look rather normal and the far reaching consequences only become distinct from an aerial perspective. The minig operator Vattenfall (since 2000) is now in the duty of the renaturation and reclamation process of these wrecked landscapes, it will take decades of years though for the nature to recover from these human interventions.
In meiner freien Serie "aftermath", die ich dieses Jahr fortgeführt habe, dokumentiere ich die dramatischen landschaftlichen Folgeschäden des Braunkohleabbaus in Deutschland aus der Luft.
Der regionale Braunkohleabbau, der ohnehin als die Art der Energiegewinnung mit der schlechtesten Ökobilanz gilt und darum in Zeiten des Klimawandels aktuell mehr denn je umstritten ist, hat zu massiven Schäden an großen Arealen unserer heimischen Natur geführt. Die Renaturierungsprojekte, zu denen die großen Energiekonzerne verpflichtet sind, nachdem die Böden erschöpft sind, tragen, wenn überhaupt, nur sehr langsam Früchte. Ganze Landstriche wirken wie ausgestorben, die Böden sind teilweise verseucht, die Bewohner wurden "umgesiedelt".
Dennoch wirken diese Gebiete vom Boden aus relativ intakt und unscheinbar und erst aus der Vogelperspektive zeigt sich das wahre Ausmaß der Zerstörung, welches die Landschaften nun in all seinen, teils abstrakt wirkenden Farbspielen und grafischen Formen prägt.
This is all that's left of the old warehouse at Baker's Quay in Gloucester (pre-fire image flic.kr/p/qMX1a8 ).
Not technically a great image, but possibly interesting from a "before and after" view point.
Nothing is lost.. they are there in the mind and in memories.

The tree-down aftermath of a violent early-summer thunderstorm. Miraculously, the house survived the impact relatively unscathed.

I'm going to try to make a gradual transition away from "weird" but warm-tone images, and into some pretty and colorful autumn tree shots. Gradual transitions are nice, right?
Come to think of it, maybe it's better to have some shots in the photostream that jump out at you because they're so different than the surrounding images.
But then if you tried to make every shot pop like that, you'd have a whole series of popping shots that really don't pop individually because they all pop....
hm..... nothing is ever simple in flickr-land...

Custom House Square Belfast after the Texas concert
It doesnt stay like this for more than a few minutes because the bar staff descend with plastic bags to pick up the rubbish and then the whole place gets hosed down.
Interesting to watch from above and to get a few photos too.
Here is the "aftermath" of the sequence that first started before this photograph. Had another version of this photo without all the fire and darkness but this was the coolest one :D

I'm posting a bit early because it's going to be busy for the next few days.
