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.

Was surprised that they didn't rope off the sidewalk in front of the demolition area.

Marlow, OK

These galahs were busy breaking up this termite nest, taking turns at the job whilst one always kept a look out for any possible birds of prey overhead. Not sure what they were after...termites? minerals? Maybe just plain fun.

How to tell who's who: the female has red eyes, the male has dark brown eyes.

Galahs pair for life.

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...

there is even an ultrashort movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lPTRgZ8Vd8&list=UUo1nKUnx4yF...

The demolition of a century old farm house in rural Ohio.

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

It was something a little like a budget 'Mission: Impossible'. Dark clothing, watching for guards patrolling the opposite buildings, rolling under fencing and running from shadow to shadow... with a lot of added tripping, kicking things by accident and seeing people who aren't there.

It's such a funny feeling, being inside a building that is now partially outside.

I'm very fond of finding myself in these vast spaces- I feel so small. It's not often I find myself in spaces like that, so it's always a bit of a rush. It was a nice, quick and exciting one-off. I assume the entire thing is gone now...
