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.

Was surprised that they didn't rope off the sidewalk in front of the demolition area.

The Alma Estate in Ponders End. There are four tower blocks, a parade of shops and some houses coming down for redevelopment here.
The nearest block is coming down a bit at a time, as it is right next to a busy railway line.
Hay unas zonas en Benidorm, donde el cemento se come la costa. Urbanizaciones de super lujo que, con dinero, compraron permisos para construir. Ahora en algún caso deben de destruirlos. Algunos apartamentos, según reportaje en TV, valieron sólo 400.000€. Ahora sus dueños se llevan las manos a la cabeza !. Y lo que mas me cuesta creer es que los ecologistas estén en contra de la demolición por los daños que pueden causar en el hábitat marino. Un mundo de locos y locuras !
There are some areas in Benidorm, where the cement eats the coast. Super luxury developments that, with money, bought permits to build. Now in some cases they must destroy them. Some apartments, according to TV report, were worth only € 400,000. Now their owners put their hands to their heads! And the hardest thing for me to believe is that environmentalists are against demolition because of the damage they can cause to the marine habitat. A world of crazy and crazy stuff !

Et le plus difficile à croire pour moi, c'est que les écologistes sont contre la démolition à cause des dommages qu'ils peuvent causer à l'habitat marin. Un monde de fou et de folies !
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.

Ormai vicino alla destinazione finale, il treno di materiale demolendo entra in stazione a Rovereto.

Almost at the end of its trip, the train of carriages and railcars destined to be scrapped enters Rovereto station.
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...
there is even an ultrashort movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lPTRgZ8Vd8&list=UUo1nKUnx4yF...
