This is a composite image merging mainly three shots: the demolition site, the moody clouds and the woman portrait. The latter one was shot in Paris, near the Seine river, it is the work of a street artist who signs C215.

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.

Another monument to King Coal disappears, with the demolition of the cooling towers at Rugeley. Images are big crops, I was well away from the action.
