Construction demolition in downtown Vancouver, Washington. I liked the colors.

I've taken this shot several times before but I love the view of the Bay of Martyrs just after sunset. The power of the southern ocean is incredible and if you want to truly understand its destructive force, just compare my shot to this one taken in 2015 by the amazing Bernard Spragg and see if you can spot the difference.

The Alma Estate in Ponders End. There are four tower blocks, a parade of shops and some houses coming down for redevelopment here.

The nearest block is coming down a bit at a time, as it is right next to a busy railway line.

A. J. Mackay, Co., claiming to deliver 'Expert Demolition', lives up to its billing as it rips down the steam-era Car Shop in Provo, Utah the morning of Sept. 18, 1981. The steel and glass structure was used by both the Union Pacific and Utah Railway. After the Provo roundhouse was leveled in the early 1970s, the shop was used for locomotive maintenance.

Cannot quite remember where this was, but I think it was in the Soho area.

Searching earlier photos, I did see this image of demolition of Utrecht University building "Wentgebouw" in 2014.

With current developments in society, perhaps can be seen as metaphore...
