Back to back SD60s muscle a train of Dresser, Wis., trap rock past the iconic old red barn at Donnybrook, N.D., which appears to be in a state of terminal decline. The train is on the home stretch to the Northern Plains Railroad interchange at Kenmare, where the rock will go toward capital projects on that regional railroad line.
How long will it last?
Nikon FM3a + Helios-81N, cropped square. Orwo UN54 handrolled by te FPP, developed in Adox Silvermax developer - 11 min @ 68. I like this developer even though it's a little expensive here. The negatives were slightly over-developed, next time I'll do 10 minutes.
The quarry at Dinorwig shut it's doors in 1969 after 180 years of service, now nature is taking back what was rightfully hers.

this game is on sale for $3. a lot of it is not for me, but i love the aesthetic and it has a camera. its kind of fun at times. i’ve spent $3 on much less! but i don’t really care about loot, and it’s a very repetitive solo experience (as one would expect, not complaining), so ill probably get bored of it in a day or two
A passage to a personal sort of redemption if you will. Anyway, touring Cincinnati Ohio today when I found this really cool park on Garfield Place. Looking down the passageway to what I later found out to be Covenant First Presbyterian Church on Elm Street. I'll bet this area looks fabulous at night but the park closes at 10pm.
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?

- 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...
Returning to the Sea.
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.
Spotted herd on distant horizon ... just visible with naked eye.
With 661mm zoom, hand-held I got some detail.
TWO years ago ALL of this land was gorse / whin. Reclamation continues in the foreground.
