Empty shops and business premises are a common sight on UK High Streets, but many vacancies are relatively short lived - the shops are soon in use again although in these difficult times, the new business only have a limited life.
This collection portrays retail outlets that have been empty long-term, some for many years. In the past, all these have housed thriving businesses. Yet now, for some reason, they are empty and some are falling into a state of disrepair and dilapidation.
Each has its own story to tell. Some are completely empty, others seem to have stopped trading suddenly and appear like the Marie-Celeste, still with stock in the windows. In many cases, we can tell easily from the faded signage what business last operated from the shop. Others are a complete mystery with faded blinds or shutters and all signs removed.
a song by Don Mclean, have a listen if you have the time.
An Empty Chair
by Mechelle McCarrell
An empty chair still sit's there
Where it alway's was
Never to be moved
To keep your memory close
Because out of anyone else
I loved you the most
You cared for me from your chair
Held me on your lap till I took my nap
Watched me, loved me, and taught me
To be loving like you
I remember your big beautiful eye's of blue
Looking, caring into mine too
You loved me more than life itself
And I cherished you so much
I was beside myself
An empty chair still filled with care
Eventhough you're not there
I still know in my heart
We'll never be apart.
loving the soft focus:)
Late Night Alumni - Empty Streets
The city feels clean this time of night
Just empty streets and me walking home
To clear my head
i know it came as no surprise
I'm affected more than I had guessed
By what was said-then
If this loves not meant to be
If a hearts not ready to open
If the naked eye won't see
It's broken.

An interesting one this, and a tad frustrating.
A Sellafield - Barrow Ramsden Dock appeared in RTT on Sunday for today, as did a path for the return working.
These workings would be transporting the out-of-guage Japanese nuclear flasks but unfortunately I didn't know in which direction the train would be loaded.
That was a pain as I was unable to get the day off and had to make do with swapping a shift in order to phot' it.
With the outward travelling mid' morning and the return mid' afternoon it was either get on a back-shift and shoot the morning train or an early shift and do the later return.
I took a punt on the later train after checking the weather forecast and that turned out to be the wrong option as this was the unladen journey!
Weather was crap anyway so it didn't really matter in the end. I used the exercise as an opportunity to try out my new "L"-series 70-200mm lens.
The result's a bit grainy as the rainy gloom meant ISO 800 was called for.
For the record No.37606 leads the empty KXA at Gutterby with No.37602 on the rear as 7C24.

57602 'Restormel Castle' passes Bathampton on 9 December 2024 with empty 'Night Riviera' stock en-route between Pymouth Laira and Reading depots. The previous night’s up ‘beds’ service had been cancelled due to GWR ‘staffing issues’. Apparently, insufficient staff have been volunteering to work on their rest days, leading the operator to advise against using its services on Sundays. I think that’s known in the business world as ‘managed decline’…
This was amazing, an empty hallway in Versailles. No people!
As I remember it, the palace was packed with wall to wall people.
I just happened to catch a lull in the procession.
The scope of Versailles is beyond my imagination. Room after room, art piece after art piece. So much history. A several hour visit doesn't do it justice, but longer would be information overload.
I was very glad to get outside to the gardens and away from the crowds.

When I put a grid across this image it looks close to true, but the slight angle of the shadows across the floor makes it look skewed to my eye.
2021.01.22 - Covid-19 seems to be hurting all the stores in the neighbourhood.. this one, usually busy, sits empty.. one shop looking for a tenant, the others fast food delivery, a cash outlet and a barber.. the basics of today's retail local success chain

I've decided to go through and re-process some of my images from my trip to Venice in 2011. Didn't take long before I was longing for another trip there. Such a beautiful place with views like this around every corner.
