This cute little red tractors motor is shot, so it's been abandoned. I passed it many times over the years and this time i decided to take a photo.
Near Manning in NW Oregon
(view it large) Chewing on the urban decay. Concrete wasting away due to the rain pelting on it and then drying out. Broken windows due to loss of heat or maybe stones that grew wings. But still the best visual for the surrounding residents, who possibly once worked there and now can only rely on memories. And strangely enough the rats are still content.
An old Youngstown Sheet and Tube mill crumbles in Campbell, Ohio. Campbell, formerly known as East Youngstown, was renamed in honor of the first president of the Sheet and Tube, James Campbell, in 1922. In 1977 the mill closed;an act that led to the loss of over 5,000 jobs in the area.
Graffiti and decay from the Squirrel Cage historic jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa. These aren't great photos, but the subject matter is interesting:
The patented design allowed one jailer to rotate the entire, three-story cylinder (and all its prisoners) around in a circle using just a hand crank. The jail held 63 prisoners who could not leave their cells unless their cell was cranked around to the doorway. Built in 1885 for about $30,000, safety concerns eventually led the jail to be modified away from the original rotary configuration. The county quit using the jail altogether in the 1960s.
This is a lovely abandoned house. It is decaying pretty quickly, but the house has so much character you can still imagine the kids playing the back yard, an old truck in the drive way and Mom hanging laundry.
They don't make houses like this anymore.
I wanted to go in it so bad! It's about 115 yr old!
A special to JoesSistah/ Angela Wolf for the boarder!
Incredibly, a practically complete Anderson Shelter has survived in the woodland below Beechen Cliff, in what was the back garden of one of the demolished houses above Holloway. The fact that the houses received bomb damaget in the war indicates that this humble building probably did it's job in April 1942 as Bath was bombed.
On these very streets, not too long ago, you would hear the screech and laughter of kids playing, joking around while downing cokes and other goodies purchased at the corner party store. Somewhere in the dust of what is left behind you can still hear the voices. The images are but a blurry faded memory but life was once upon these streets. Time was the name Joy Road described the very character of the neighborhood. Now it serves as a reminder of what we have lost.
I have interesting neighbors. These skulls where donated for a still life project I was doing on death and decay. Over the past decade my neighbor's pets, when they died, he kept these skulls as remembrance. All where loved and had long lives.
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
