Ford tanker truck (1948?) burned in one of the 2020 wildfires in Oregon.
Leica IIIf camera with Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Summitar 5cm f/2 lens. The film is unknown but I think it may be Ilford FP4. I developed the film in Beerenol (Rainier Beer).
Our Day,y Challenge: Out of Control
Today we drove through Malibu and saw the devastation that the Palisades Fire caused to Malibu. We saw burned out lots and blackened debris everywhere. We saw one subdivision that was completely obliterated! In total 6,831 structures were destroyed and 973 damaged. It is one thing to see a news report reporting on a “story”; it is quite different to see the devastation with your own eyes. I fought back tears driving through the scene, and we only saw a small portion the destroyed areas.
This image is a car parked in front of what was a home! I think that it is a new low for some one to “tag” this car with graffiti.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

As I entered this devastated hall, I was immediately struck by the dramatic power of the scene. My intention was to capture the very essence of desolation while preserving a certain beauty within the chaos. I chose to work with the faint natural light filtering in, creating these warm tones that contrast with the blackness of the debris. The perspective framing, guided by the rows of charred seats, draws the eye towards the back of the room, suggesting the immensity of the destruction.
I wanted every detail to tell a story - the twisted metal structures on the ceiling, the seats frozen in their final position, the walls bearing the scars of the disaster. This photograph isn't just a document of destruction; it's also a reflection on the fragility of our living and cultural spaces. By working with a long exposure and choosing this precise angle, I sought to create an almost surreal atmosphere, as if suspended in time, where beauty paradoxically emerges from chaos.
Homeless person's pitch on church land.
Despite promises from the government there is no help for the homeless now the weather has begun to deteriorate with nighttime temperatures dropping below zero.

Em Copenhaga, a rua histórica Lille Kirkestræde conduz à antiga Igreja de São Nicolau (Sankt Nikolaj Kirke), fundada no século XIII e reconstruída ao longo dos séculos. Severamente danificada no incêndio de 1795, restou apenas a imponente torre, que foi restaurada no início do século XX. A igreja deixou de ter funções religiosas e, desde 1957, consolidou-se como um centro de arte contemporânea, o Nikolaj Kunsthal, palco para obras experimentais dinamarquesas e internacionais. A estrutura, que combina elementos góticos tardios com influências renascentistas, destaca-se pela torre de tijolo vermelho com uma distintiva cúpula neobarroca em cobre oxidado, com 90 metros de altura.
In Copenhagen, the historic Lille Kirkestræde street leads to the old St. Nicholas Church (Sankt Nikolaj Kirke), founded in the 13th century and rebuilt over the centuries. Severely damaged in the fire of 1795, only the imposing tower remained, which was restored in the early 20th century. The church no longer serves a religious function and, since 1957, has established itself as a center for contemporary art, the Nikolaj Kunsthal, a stage for experimental Danish and international works. The structure, which combines late Gothic elements with Renaissance influences, stands out for its red brick tower with a distinctive neo-baroque dome in oxidized copper, 90 meters high.

Brighton West Pier, closed many years ago and has been slowly declining since the 70's, plans to reopen it have now been shelved. This is looking West towards Hove and beyond.
On October 22, 2022, a fire burned through the town of Wooldridge in Cooper County, Missouri. The fire started when a combine ignited while harvesting a farm field east of town. This ariel photo was taken four days after the fire and shows the extent of the damage.
Here are several news articles from local sources detailing the fire.

The link gives full details of the damage and some fascinating ‘interior’ shots. Below I’ve pasted a couple of paragraphs.
‘On the night of Thursday 3rd May 2004, the church was completely destroyed by fire, probably started deliberately with one of the gas canisters used for heating. These canisters exacerbated the inferno by exploding at its peak. Everything inside was destroyed, except for the brass (it was set in the floor, not on the wall) and the monuments. All else became a charred forest of carbonised benches and calcified stone, shadows and ghosts of what was once there, inside a vast black skeleton.
St Wandregesilius now sits within a high security fence of bonded steel to prevent people from risking their lives in the ruins. It faces an uncertain future, except to say that it is unlikely ever to be restored to use as a parish church again. No doubt the walls are solid enough, and it could perhaps be converted into use as a house or something.’

September 2020 was when W17 gave up the ghost. A fire caused by a faulty alternator destroyed the bus in a matter of minutes.
It is seen here in the yard on the morning after the fateful blaze.
A sad end... I knew I had a shot of poor old RM1343 somewhere. When I took this picture, the Routemaster was 20 years old and the Fleetline a mere 5 years old!
Leyland engined Routemaster RM1343 (343 CLT) is seen alongside Fleetline DMS2403 ((OJD 403R) - both seen in a dilapidated state dumped at the back of Bexleyheath bus garage in south east London.
A lot of buses were cannibalised in the 1980s - I believe there was a chronic shortage of spare parts. Not too many Routemasters were allowed to get into this sorry state though.
RM1343 (343 CLT) was an early casualty, being withdrawn in 1975 for spare parts - one of the non-standard Leyland engined examples of the fleet.

Transferred to TC after overhaul then H
75-80 stored at NX (New Cross)
80 withdrawn from service at WH (West Ham)
80-83 stored at Bexleyheath and gradually stripped
11/83 sold to Ensign (Purfleet) and scrapped
DMS2403 (OJD 403R) another one of London Transport's short lived fleet of DMSs with a very short working life of just a year or so!
1977 new to BX (Bexleyheath)
2/78 into store at BX
1981 still in store at BX
9/82 formally withdrawn at BX
1/83 sold to Ensign Bus (Purfleet) and scrapped sometime later
What a waste of money!

Something I’ve wanted to do for ages, find an old abandoned building, explore it and photography it, last weekend whilst holidaying in the Cotswolds we found this amazing site near Gloucester Docks.
this is where I lived from 1971-1973
there was a fire back in Sept (bottom shot) and they finally tore down the ruins early June
looks like they were trying to save some of the bricks
Long painted over, this wall was showing smoke damage from the fire that had destroyed the existing building.

St. Catherine's Church (Kościół Św. Katarzyny) in Gdansk is stunning in its simplicity. The church was built in the 14th century, making it the oldest church in Gdansk, and served as the official church of the city until St. Mary's was finished in the 16th century. This large brick church suffered a massive fire in 2006 and the heroic battle to extinguish and save her is chronicled along one of the walls. St. Catherine's began as a Protestant church and remained so until after WWII when it became Roman Catholic.

Was driving through Black Forest, Colorado, yesterday, where properties are in various stages of rebuilding / clearing following last year's devastating fire, and saw this cross carved into the charred remains of a Ponderosa Pine tree.
Sparta, GA (Hancock County) Copyright 2014 D. Nelson
In the 25 years of photographing Georgia, I never took a photo of the spectacular Hancock County Courthouse in Sparta. Until last Sunday.
It burned down on August 11, and only a shell remains. The interior and beautiful clock tower - the clock of which was about to be restored - gone. I have heard that many of the county's records, dating back to 1795, were also destroyed in the fire. What a loss.
An attempt will be made to preserve the exterior walls when rebuilding.
An early snowfall on Mt Lemmon, the high point of the Catalina Mountains. This is the scene to the east of our property. The brown trees are the ones killed by the Buckhorn fire that raged through the whole mountain chain last summer, forcing us to evacuate. Amazingly, there are still some green trees and bushes. Perhaps some plants will regrow from the roots.
A fire in the 1980s was hot enough to bend the rails. Somehow, though, the wooden structure seems largely unharmed.
