Warden Point Battery - Warden Point, Kent.
World War 2 sea defences at Warden Point on the Isle of Sheppey. The pillboxes have fallen in to the sea due to the eroding coastline on the island.
Walking along High Street in Waverly, Ohio, I was shocked at seeing the decay on the exterior of the Pike County Courthouse Annex The annex contains a wheelchair ramp and rest rooms.
“Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; the worst is death and death will have his day.”
― William Shakespeare
if your facade is already falling apart
how ripped must your soul be
these aren't the brightest of times
A partial shot of a heritage building on Yonge Street that is in decay and will at some point be torn down ( except for the facade) and make way for a new building. Life goes on, the new replaces the old...nothing is static...life is a continuum.
Best wishes for the week ahead !

I had the pleasure of being teamed up with Smile Moon! He has a true love for nature which can be found all throughout his stream!! Be sure to check him out! www.flickr.com/photos/36024940@N08/
His push for me was "I'll issue you a one-word challenge. "Decay." Whether you take that in the organic sense, the urban sense, or something else entirely, I leave that up to you. I think your response is going to be very interesting."
He wanted interesting...he got it!
My company does a departmental community service day once a year. It's a great team building event where 29 of us come out to a non-profit location and volunteer a full afternoon to assist. This time we spent a beautiful sunny afternoon at Button Farm.
The Historic Button Farm is set on 60-pristine acres inside Seneca Creek State Park, and is Maryland's only living history center depicting 19th century slave plantation life. Their site features a Civil War-era Barn, Historic Outbuildings, Livestock Pens, Museum Garden, and Slave Cemetery and is home to The Underground Railroad Immersion Experience, a dramatic reenactment of the journey from slavery to freedom.
We as a department put up a new entrance sign, cleaned out an old large barn, chopped fire wood, mowed the lawn, removed shrubs, and cleaned out the property shed. While a co-worked was cleaning out the shed, she noticed "something" behind the small building. At a closer look, we found a decayed fox! Gross, yes I know, but perfect for my push this week! The curator pulled the decayed creature out for all to see. Some girls gasped and some guys thought it was pretty neat! The only thought that went through my head was, "So glad I thought to bring my camera to this event"!!
There you have my push for week 10. I have a strong feeling I accomplished my challenge. :)
Finn Slough is a tiny Fraser River fishing community located at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The community has approximately 30 residents who live in wooden houses, both floating and built on stilts, along the marshy river bank. Many of the buildings were built between the late 19th century and 1950s and many have decayed severely, while some have been carefully restored. Finn Slough was founded by Finnish settlers who came to Richmond in the 1880s. Most of these residents made a good living from fishing and became local landowners.
Finn Slough (or sometimes Gilmore or Tiffin Slough) can be found on the south arm of the mighty Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The Slough is bounded on the Fraser River side by Gilmour Island and on the north by a dyke built to protect Richmond. Access to homes on the Gilmour Island side of the Slough is by a wooden draw-bridge, creating a definite sense of isolation from the nearby urban areas of Richmond and Vancouver.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

Arched windows caught my eye. This old flat roofed building is in rough shape, excepting a new garage door cut into the front. I could not figure out what the buildings was designed for.
