Ich hätte sie am Wegrand fast übersehen. Beim näher Hinschauen entpuppte sich diese verblühende Tulpe als Schönheit.
I would have gone almost over. At closer inspection, this fading tulip turned out to be a beauty.
Last hurrah for bouquet of once-pink roses, faded to their papery remains. I have photographed this particular display in several of its incarnations. The remnants were finally consigned to the rubbish bin.
A friend braves the coming surf. Ethereal and ghostly as she fades into the slow shutter of my camera.
Here's a rose from my garden
Where the bloom of romance grows
But I'll keep on a part near my aching heart
Just a petal from a faded rose
Love'd be sweet in the morning
When the breeze of summer blows
But will fade and die when the wind is nigh
Like a petal from a faded rose
The fading colours of autumn and light of the day catch GWR class 166203 on the 14:32 Swindon to Gloucester service at Standish Junction. 30 November 2025
This building stands in the heart of downtown Shreveport. These faded advertizements decorate much of the downtown...for now. They have a limited lifespan, and a lack of funds to preserve them.

The Once Busy “McCarters/Fruit of the Loom” now starting to get demolished.........
This factory here at Ballymacarry and the one at Shore rd. supported the majority of the town here (Buncrana) either directly or indirectly, and the fact it's now been torn down ,for me, personally, its sad to see it go, as I worked/helped in and around this and the other factories , for around 16 years off and on ( Since 1983 ) and i’ve alot of good memories and made alot of good friends here thats why I called it “Fading Memories ”.
I now live over the road from here and i pass it at least once a day , i look and see a light/ photcell /Air conditioning unit or something else electrical , and say to myself ,"I remember fixin' that or putting that up" , , such a shame to see it being torn down, I would much rather see it refurbished and reused, i can't help but think of the amount of work went into it.
I've fond memories of this place and the other factories (mainly here and Shore rd) as my father would've had me in workin over the summer and weekends helping him from a very early age( 10), passing him screwdrivers/spanners holding the torch/cleaning up/ or makin tea. I started as a gopher (go for this and go for that ) general tidyupperer, & tea boy, went on to become electricians labourer, to apprentice electrician , to qualified electrician, I've worked in this particular place before it was officially handed over to Fruit of the loom/McCarters (cleaning about 300 flourescent lights one summer holidays) It previously was the Chico factory (which made amphibious vehicles , (some pics and more info of them here www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055010533 )
Made alot of friends in here too, there were the odd days i hated to see the place too,same as most jobs, suppose, ( muttering things like ,Doom of the Loom (was goin to call it this first ) and Fruit of the Tomb as i passed through the security gates but overall it was a great place/ alot of good friendly people and the work was great, plenty of exciting,educational and challenging work for an apprentice spark trying to learn the trade.
As you can see, this place meant alot to me , as it has to many folk from Inishowen and the North West. Hopefully they'll create something good out of the ole place, and start a new heap of jobs and a new set of memories for another up and coming generation. So i’ve seen it’s birth and now witnessing its death , but hopefully i’ll see its resurrection and SOON.....:-)
Possibly might get around to taking more photos of the ole buildings before they finally disappear...
Also for anyone whos interested i found a good article on the place by one of the former owners Willie mc Carter www.inishowennews.com/07WillieMcCarter068.htm
After my wife and I arrived at home for the evening I grabbed one of my bridge cameras. The sun was fading so I was able to capture a few pictures of the sun setting behind a tree.
I was at the Clay City Museum Today and took this Photo of an old Beaver that the Museum has used for Years to advertise that they're open by rolling it to the Sidewalk outside the Building.
This poor Fellow has faded so bad over the years that he almost looks albino.
I've always been abhorred by Taxidermy, I don't even like it much for scientific purposes.
But in some applications I suppose it's a necessary evil.
The thing I've always loved about Photography is that nothing is hurt by having a Photograph taken of it, and it makes one want to venture out to see for themselves the awesome beauty of nature.
