An old, abandoned beer factory in Budapest
(elhagyott sörgyári épület Kőbányán, nem tudni, az enyészetre, vagy új funkcióra vár....)
Old Mitchell Shackelton building in Monton near Eccles Manchester - another classic building in the course of demolition.
One of many beautiful houses of the colonial era in decay. Due to the lack of money, these ruins are seen all over the country.
What will be left once we pass? It happened to the dinosaurs with a meteorite, don't you think it will happen to us too? There are times I entertain myself with thoughts of our demise. What archaeologist will excavate our remains and classify homosapien as neanderthal and archaic? Aliens? Roaches?
I wonder.
It doesn't take long for Earth to reclaim what belongs to it. Leave a building unattended and vegetation will grow, cement will crack, wood will rot. We might look at a decaying house with a sense of foreboding and sadness. We might look at it with a sense of loss. However, from nature's perspective, that dilapidated house is simply returning to it's original state, a state before human intervention.
I love my life. I love our society. I love our world. (Understanding, of course, that it's not perfect and that many things need to change.) But, for example, how much different would the United States be if history had unfurled differently. What if the States had absorbed the Native American tribes instead of subjugating them? What if we had adopted their custom of living in harmony with nature instead of consuming it like a starving child hungry for his last meal.
Life is full of "what ifs." It's entertaining to imagine a world where a butterfly flapped it's wings and BAM, everythings different . But while it's all good and dandy to imagine, it's far more effective to ask: "What can I do to change tomorrow?"
And that is something I'm still asking myself.
These dinky toys had been abandoned for years outside, and acquired an impressive patina. You can't buy texture like that!
Not much is left of the Eloise psychiatric hospital. Only a few of the 78 buildings still exist. You can tell from the look of these that they might not exist much longer.
