Except for the bugs and graffiiti, there is no sign that Knock ever resided in this dilapidated pit.

I have some commentary to go with this one. Hope you feel like reading!
Several things to talk about.
First.....I will be taking a bit of a Flickr break for a couple reasons. I'll be busy at work this coming week anyway and it makes it hard to go around and comment on contacts.
I don't like to really post unless I can do that.
Second, a little burn out. Maybe needing some time away to think about some of the things lately on Flickr that bother me.
There's been alot of "discussions" recently posted with photos about all the new groups that have been started with seemingly the purpose of faving/commenting within the group heavily to achieve explore. I actually was invited and belonged to the ExCa group for about a day or two before quitting. I joined because of an invite, but quit when I sensed that there really was a motive within the group. Now there are 2 new groups started, with many of the same people, for probably the same reasons. They are Golden Garden and L'amicizia fa la differenza .
There is no question that within these groups much more commenting and faving goes on than the usual. And if you look at explore over the last couple months, the same faces are always there, good photo, or bad. In my year and a half on Flickr, I have not been aware of this going on before recently. The HS popularity contest is getting old. ( Or maybe it's just me getting old!)
Those of you belonging to the groups mentioned....ask yourself why....really....why do you? Be honest. Are the drive by meaningless comments what you really want? I'm sure I have offended some, sorry for that.
Third....I've been going over my contact list and cleaning it up. Mostly looking at the reverse list, which amazes me, because there are 1220 people that "call me a contact". That's what's left after I went thru each and every one of them and checked their profile pages. Automatically deleted those that had upwards of 600 contacts. Some of them had 8000-9000 contacts listed. Sorry, but I don't care to be one of them!!!!
So why do 1220 people call me their contact??
There's a group of you that visit regularly, but what of the others? Why have they included me on their list if they NEVER comment?
I suppose everyone has a different definition of what it means to be a contact.
I guess I hit a wall today, and feel a need for a new perspective.
I really enjoy my loyal contacts, and seeing your posts.
And I appreciate your support and helping me get to explore the number of times that I have. Being seen on FP has connected me with alot of you, but it also gets to be too important in the scheme of things.
Now if I don't stop, I will begin to ramble. Congrats to you if you made it to the bottom of this post!!
Have a good week everyone...see you sooner or later :)
And hopefully when I post again, a few of you will still be hanging around my stream!
Unburden yourself from the limitations you've borrowed from others. And let yourself be. Empty your mind of the fears, doubts, worries and distractions that have built upon each other. And let yourself be. Look past the noise and turmoil of your thoughts. Be at peace with what is now, and see that peace as it spreads far beyond your vision.
Let any anxiety or worry about the future melt away. Let the feel of remoteness come in and enjoy your way toward the journey to the edge of the world.

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.
Yeah, the wind really does push the swing, doesn't it? Actually, I think it's swinging from me turning the dio right before snapping the picture (no Photoshop motion blur on this MOC). I was using a fairly long exposure.

Hey everybody.
I'm really sorry for not being in very much.
But at the moment, thats just how it has to be.
I hope everyone of you are great ^^
it's been a looong time since i've uploaded anything, or taken pictures. my laptop kicked the bucket but this is my first photo edited using my macbook! it's so much easier on a mac it's ridiculous.
i never usually explain a meaning behind my photos, but this one's a little different. i wanted to try and convey a feeling you get sometimes, of emptiness or emotionless. it's something that you don't see, or overlook in a person. but every now and then it takes its toll, mentally and physically.
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

shops and streets are closed due to covid 19, a few remain open, but don't have a lot of customers, empty plates are the result of this
