An old farmers barn near Ramsey Mereside that caught my eye as we drove past, with a whole array of colours and textures, as well as being set against a dynamic sky.
I had to pull over and get a pic, well actually a number, so that I could tone map this image and capture it in all its glory.
The decaying entranceway of the Male Pavilion at Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital in Germany. A young Adolph Hitler would have walked these very steps during his stay here after suffering injuries during the Battle of the Somme.

Beauty In Decay - The great thing about a room void of ambient light is that it is, in effect, a blank canvas. This was the case in several rooms I was able to shoot in the somewhat creepy but completely AWESOME penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia.
Thanks to the arrangements made by another photographer, we were given a map and the green light to shoot just about anywhere we liked in this massive and sprawling property. We had access to cell blocks, admin offices and even the former psychiatric ward.
The West Virginia Penitentiary was built in 1866 and continued to operate until around 1995 when the prisoner count dwindled from a high of 2000 to below 700. Since then, it has served as a training facility featuring mock riots. The majority of the interior appears much like this room with broken, old furniture and shredded paint.
The property has also become a destination for ghost hunters based on witness accounts of shadowy figures, strange noises and other abnormalities. No, I did not have any experiences and all of my batteries discharged with normal use despite reports that the spirits like to zap batteries in quick fashion.
I couldn't help but feel a little weirded out by the place but one thing that I did not have to worry about was a surprise encounter with any unruly humans. This place, by definition, is pretty well locked down. Knowing there wasn't anyone else lurking around allowed me to focus on the task at hand.
This was a single exposure, lit from multiple angles to exaggerate the wall textures over the course of about three minutes.
Part of a decayed Big-leaf Maple leaf that I found today when out in the forest for a walk while watching for an interesting leaf for Macro Mondays.
Yes, it has been focus stacked.

Bodie Ghost Town, eastern Sierras, California.
A photographer's playground, Bodie is full of gems like this. A pieces and parts of an old car in front of a decaying house in a desert landscape. Worth a visit.
