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.

Demolition of an abandoned, graffiti covered, water treatment facility.

Construction demolition in downtown Vancouver, Washington. I liked the colors.

I've taken this shot several times before but I love the view of the Bay of Martyrs just after sunset. The power of the southern ocean is incredible and if you want to truly understand its destructive force, just compare my shot to this one taken in 2015 this one taken in 2015 by the amazing Bernard Spragg and see if you can spot the difference.

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.

Cannot quite remember where this was, but I think it was in the Soho area.

My title tells the story that this old retired power station is about to be demolished. It was decommissioned in 2009 and has sat idle since then. Now the area around here will have further industrial development so this amazing landmark comes down.
