Long abandoned and now overtaken by nature, one of several old cement buildings along a walking trail bordering Tod Inlet, Gowlland Tod Provincial Park. Vancouver Island, BC
With the discovery of limestone in the neighbouring area in the late 1800’s, the Butchart family purchased the land and established the Vancouver Portland Cement Company. Limestone quarrying continued until the land was exhausted in 1921 and operations were subsequently moved to Bamberton, across the Saanich Inlet.
The industry brought settlers to the area which included a large community of Chinese, Sikh & European immigrants. Cement foundations and ruins can be found along the banks and trails surrounding the inlet.
The historic quarry site is now the home of the world famous Butchart Gardens.
The local land managers thought this old field of goldenrod and bramble wasn't developing into forest fast enough. They got some money, some volunteers, and planted hundreds of trees. I bet they calculated the exact number of trees required to make a forest, the precise proportions of oak to sycamore and maple. Thanks to this noble project, this field will surely progress more quickly to forest, as doubtless nature intended it to be. With so much land to look after, what would Nature do without our assistance sometimes?

"all time favourites" In photography, I'm not sure if there is right or wrong, even good or bad, but there are certainly the interesting or the boring, like or dislike. These are the ones I like most...

- another abandoned industrial building, piece by piece and brick by brick being reclaimed by nature as time slowly passes. What sort of life will dwell in places left by humans long ago?
Byron Lotton, the chief engineer that developed the Glave, was furious when it was stolen. After the initial attempts at recovery failed, it became clear that a second DCS (Dominance Class Starfighter) would be needed. Much of the advanced tech used in the Glave was impossible to replicate for various reasons but Byron believed he could come up with something just as cutting edge.
The Reclamation was designed and developed in just over a year. It is piloted by none other than Byron Lotton himself. The Glave will be found...

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.

After the drones became autonomous... everything went downhill. An arms race began to create the most technologically advance militaristic robots to defend nations. After the wars began... all was lost. Now, we fight to reclaim our fallen city.
Hey guys! I've been working on this scene for what seems like weeks... and I finally finished editing the picture! More pictures showing alternate views will be up shortly.

A member of the US special Forces along with UN forces during the latter stages of the Outbreak.
As the safe zones were established and secured attempts were made to conduct various room clearing operations in certain buildings that still contain a high concentration of infected, within or just outside the safe zone. These tasks were often given to special forces units who were known to be highly successful in completing these tasks.
‘’The Outbreak’’ sometimes dubbed as ‘’The Apocalypse’’ or ‘’World War Z’’ is a global outbreak of Specimen Z, an experimental virus that has spread around the globe. It spread globally in around 28 hours and caused the collapse of several nations within those hours. Resulting in mass panic and global destruction.
UN forces are fighting against the infected during a massive global zombie outbreak. Consisting of several armies from around the globe united together in accordance with a secretive UN protocol. They cooperated with the total defense against the increase of infected, which resulted in a global conflict against the infected. The UN army is considered to be the largest and most powerful faction seen in the Outbreak series so far.
(Dubbed as the UN Army in the Outbreak videos) They are a faction that has yet to appear in future content, despite that. The UN army already made several appearances in my brickfilms. The most notable was the Zombie Outbreak videos.
Their main job during the Outbreak was to evacuate the civilians out of the infected ''Hot Zone'' areas by combating the infected with various weapons in order to buy time. They were also tasked with maintaining order in and outside the Quarantine Zones as mass panic was still in progress.
This is a concept that might be explored in the future
