This is a composite image merging mainly three shots: the demolition site, the moody clouds and the woman portrait. The latter one was shot in Paris, near the Seine river, it is the work of a street artist who signs C215.

Captured in October 2015, this was the controlled demolition of the infamous Red Road Flats in the area of Balornock, Northeast of the centre of Glasgow.
The demolition of 6 towers simultaneously was one of the biggest controlled demolitions in Europe and it all went wrong. The two towers seen right of frame remained partially standing and dangerously perilous. It took a long time for them to be broken down afterwards. Not everything goes to plan.
I am seeing video evidence of Russia using cluster bombs and thermobaric bombs on civilian targets in Ukraine. These munitions are banned by the Geneva Convention. Indiscriminate weapons used upon civilian targets. War crimes. A war against humanity. Europe. Again. Humanity learns nothing from the devastating history of our past.
I have seen many videos showing incredible acts of bravery, individually and en masse, of ordinary Ukrainian people. Sadly I fear that the longer this barbaric attack continues, the more devastating the weapons and targets will become. I can't see Putin stopping at Ukraine either. There are plenty of reports and documents out there suggesting that he won't. This is absolute insanity.
My thoughts remain with the people of Ukraine, their families and their friends.
My thoughts too are with those Russian military personal that refuse to fight, those that lay down their arms and surrender. Those who had no idea they were being sent to fight their Slavic brothers and sisters.
Those who continue to fight are as guilty as those who order them to fight. 'I was following orders' is not an excuse.
I wish and hope that Europe will know peace once more - and soon. Be safe my Flickr friends.
The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.
Protected by the 1966 Landmarks Act, the former Seaman's Retreat cannot be torn down.

A. J. Mackay, Co., claiming to deliver 'Expert Demolition', lives up to its billing as it rips down the steam-era Car Shop in Provo, Utah the morning of Sept. 18, 1981. The steel and glass structure was used by both the Union Pacific and Utah Railway. After the Provo roundhouse was leveled in the early 1970s, the shop was used for locomotive maintenance.

Another monument to King Coal disappears, with the demolition of the cooling towers at Rugeley. Images are big crops, I was well away from the action.
Searching earlier photos, I did see this image of demolition of Utrecht University building "Wentgebouw" in 2014.
With current developments in society, perhaps can be seen as metaphore...
