Our neighbours house during its "Deconstruction" yesterday... It has to be rebuilt after the Christchurch Earthquakes.
Every time I visit Jackson, Tennessee (and specifically South Jackson & Bemis where I grew up), I am very disappointed in the state of the site of the former Bemis Cotton Mill. Demolition was authorized by the Jackson Mayor and City Council and a few non-local companies have come through and pillaged anything of much value. The rest that remains (as seen here) just sits week after week and month after month as nothing happens. The two 'towers' seen here housed a lot of the mechanical & ventilation systems that were added later in the life of the mill so are not as "historical" as the parts that were scavenged. However, you can see that they were left in a partially deconstructed state and are somewhat dangerous as they sit but no one with any authority seems to care. This is a painful site for the longtime residents of Bemis and the surrounding area as they watch their community sit, partially in ruin, as nothing else happens to this once great piece of Jackson and Tennessee history.

I haven't considered entering this competition until I received an e-mail invitation from LensCulture offering me a free entry. Devoting a few minutes from my life to complete the submission was fine; I could afford this much.
You can see the Competition Gallery here:

The submission deadline is February 20th, 2019, if you'd like to take part in it.
Die Lennetalbrücke der A45 in Hagen wird abgerissen.
Im Moment brechen Bagger mit Meissel und Zange von Oben her die Flächen auf.
Später wird, vermutlich von Unten, mit einem anderen Gerät das Gerippe abgetragen.

How to Create a Glitch in your image:
www.frontrowsociety.com/frs/how-to-easily-create-glitch-art/
Glitch art, also called data bending, is a way to create an interesting effect by going into the text code of your image and changing it.
Follow the instructions at the link above, however, you might have to make these changes.
I had to change the file to a tif file first. (It didn't work for me in jpg.) Also you absolutely need to save your file as a copy or save it with a new title BEFORE you begin because this will destroy your original file.
Even though I have tons of memory, everything I tried took forever, even scrolling down through the text file. (I discovered that if I wanted to print the text file it would be 2700+ pages long for a photo that was 12X16 at 300ppi.) So you might choose to make the image smaller before you save it under a different name and in tif before you begin bending your data. Changing mine to 12X9 and 200ppi made the process go faster. You can make the size smaller or lower the ppi, or both.
The instructions say not to change anything in the top 25% of the code, but when I checked my image, nothing had changed near the top, so I saved it adding a 1 after the title, changed more a little above the 25%, then saved it with a 2 after the title and I kept adding more changes higher in the text file until I saw that the top of the image had been changed. I was probably within 5% of the top of the code. You need to experiment with your own images. (If your intent is to create a non-representational abstract, after you make changes in the text and open your image in Photoshop, you can always copy parts from the middle or bottom of your image and paste them at the top if you are afraid to go too far up with text changes.)
The code at the top gives basic info about the image and then there is a long empty space, then more code and another long empty space, and then the code seems to change from what is at the very top, so I am guessing you can start changing the code once you pass the 2nd large open space and see code that looks different from the top. I use a Mac and was using TextEdit to open the text code. It may work differently on a PC or with another text program. TextEdit came with my Mac. It is a very basic word processing program without the bells & whistles of Word and works well for data bending.
Generally, you will get a horizontal pattern (depending on what you change.) I often save my new text code. Then I open it in Photoshop and rotate it 90º and save it again. Then I reopen it in the text program and change it more so I have both horizontal and vertical sections.
After I complete the data bending, I use Photoshop to do other things, like change colors or clone an area to another area to balance colors or shapes. Sometimes, I use Topaz to give it a painterly ambiance.
For some unknown reason, I generally end up with magenta, gold, and turquoise colors, so I change colors in Photoshop.
Pomegranates are delicious this time of year. Here's a triptych of three stages of deconstruction. The trick to extracting the seeds is very simple. A video on how it's done can be found here: www.wimp.com/correctway/
The fruit extracted from this single pomegranate yielded ~475ml (1/2 quart).
The name pomegranate derives from medieval Latin pōmum "apple" and grānātum "seeded". Perhaps stemming from the old French word for the fruit, pomme-grenade, the pomegranate was known in early English as "apple of Grenada"—a term which today survives only in heraldic blazons. This is a folk etymology, confusing Latin granatus with the name of the Spanish city of Granada, which derives from Arabic.
Garnet derives from Old French grenat by metathesis, from Medieval Latin granatum as used in a different meaning "of a dark red color". This derivation may have originated from pomum granatum describing the color of pomegranate pulp or from granum referring to "red dye, cochineal".
The French term grenade for pomegranate has given its name to the military grenade.
