Went for a walk through Bird's Hill Park and noticed all the signs of Fall.

Located on CR 42 in Fackler, Alabama. I've watched this house decay over the last 7 years. I would love to fix it up--it would be a very cool house.
Probably disliked by most passers by, the Scottish Provident Building has been lauded by architecture critics and dates from 1961, the architect being William G. Leslie of Rowand Anderson Kininmonth & Paul. For such a striking structure it fits in remarkably well to the Georgian St. Andrew Square - more so than any of the uninspired plague of glass boxes with sandstone cladding that have sprung up all over Edinburgh in recent years would.
Vacant since Abbey National moved out in 2004, the B-listed building survived a demolition threat but a refurbishment has fallen foul of the economic downturn and it is sadly and slowly rotting away. In a rather futile attempt to tart it up, some blue plastic featuring some lines from Robert Louis Stevenson has been put in the windows. Personally I think it just emphasises the decay of the surrounding structure.
This old abandoned Chevy pickup is still wet from the rain.

Is Knowledge subject to decay? Yes it is, because it is bound by causes and conditions. Only wisdom isn't. And wisdom can arise from the awareness of the impermanence of all things.

Perfect image to introduce my new collection: Decay and Destruction. (A lot more images to come) Will soon be available on my website: www.ljgortphotography.tk

Assignment: Decay
Your assignment is to photograph decay. It could be that rusting car in the driveway, the house down the road in disrepair, the abandoned building near work or...
Decay can be defined in many ways - "To break down into component parts; rot.", "To fall into ruin", "To decline in health or vigor; waste away" or "To decline from a state of normality, excellence, or prosperity; deteriorate".
Restrictions: Post processing allowed for basic (lighting, levels, shadows etc) adjustments and cropping.
Dare: Surprise with something out of the ordinary that isn't any of the easy examples I offered above!
What it took
I stayed out overnight in the desert last week attempting to get some star trails. In the morning on the way home I came around a hill and saw this by the side of the road. I think I woke it up but was able to get a couple shots off before it took off.
Tu boca - Sebastiano Cognolato
Un ventre di cemento armato. Un ragazzo. Un tesoro di rottami ferrosi.
C'era un ragazzo dagli occhi azzurri, capelli rivoluzionari, sguardo fiero e pensieri di libertà . C'era un ragazzo giovane nell'età , maturo nei pensieri. C'era un ragazzo e il gelo di una mattina di gennaio; il sole blando in cielo si offuscava lunatico nell'umore e intorno la decadenza di un sogno da proletario. C'era un ragazzo e una bandiera che si afflosciava in alto nel ciel, rinvigorendosi quando era considerata dal vento. Rossa era la stoffa, rosso era il cor, martello nella mani scintillava, incudine e ferro di caldo dorato tramutavano sogni in realtà .
C'è un ragazzo e non vi è più martello nelle mani. Bandiera ormai stremata dal tempo a cimelo di ideali resta li in ciel. Rosso il cuor, regale la postura su quel arruginito macchinario, fiero lo sguardo su lastre ai sali d'argento imprime il ricordo di quei giorni, dove il freddo ferro incontrò la calda anima della rivolta che impressa dal tempo sul muro di fronte a lui rimase.

My orchid is dying...have no idea why, but the colors that Nature has presented in the leaves are blowing my mind! Absolutely brilliant yellows and reds!!!!
The Salton Sea Naval Station was an auxiliary field to NAS San Diego commissioned in 1942, had a barracks for over 600 men constructed there. It was disestablished in 1946. NAF El Centro then took over the facility using it for parachute tests of the manned space program and other military systems until 1979. There remains little if anything of the former field. The Salton Sea has taken over much of the runway.
In 2001 the United States Bureau of Reclamation used the site to remove salt from the Salton Sea, as high salinity is a major problem facing the inland lake. They used modified snowmaking equipment and mine waste removal vehicles and continued testing for a year; however high energy costs and air quality issues forced the termination of this project.
