This was to be the future, bringing the modern way of life to Five Ways at the top of Broad Street. In the foreground many thousands of tons of Birmingham sandstone are being excavated to enable the underpass to be built taking traffic seamlessly from the City Centre to Hagley Road. A large traffic island would be created above for local traffic and in the centre pleasant landscaped gardens would be created for relaxation, a place to lunch. It didn't last. Broad Street was 'dead' and this area is too far out from the city.
The traffic island was and is overwhelmed by the sheer weight of traffic, it is constantly blocked with long queues to gain access to it. The pleasant gardens below have traffic fumes pouring down upon them, the stink of diesel and petrol being constant. The local shops under Auchinleck House never really did the hoped for business apart from cheap drinks outlets, betting shops, and tawdry convenience stores, underneath Auchinleck House was a shopping mall which became a no-go area by the end.
The place has since improved, Auchinleck house has been refurbished as a hotel and, largely thanks to a general improvement in what Broad Street has to offer, life has returned although the closure of the large Tesco was not helpful.
This view shows Auchinleck House as it was built, it was designed by J. Seymour Harris and Partners and built 1962-63, it is a 14 storey building tapered towards the road junction and is topped by a distinctive wavy canopy. This mural was lost in 2000 when it was refaced by Ove Arrup & Partners with a new mural by Bruce McLean. The Underpass was built in 1969-71
From this week for (at least) 2 years the underpass is closed to allow for new work on the Midland Metro extension, Oh Joy..

The future isn't looking too bright for neither the KCS SW1500, nor the Sears outlet store. The SW1500's have been entering storage en masse and Sears is closing stores across the country.
70s Future ( Kodak 200 ).
This in a abandoned school house not far from my place. Obviously this is futuristic architecture from the 70s. I'm born in '71. The optimistic somewhat sci-fi-ish look we had in the future seems to be gone, eventually. The "bright future" got a bit rusty ... another more funny thing: I really, really grew up with that orange color. Everything was orange in the 70s, the TV, the walls of my room, anything. For me the 70s and part of my childhood really mean "orange" for a big part ...
I've changed the content of the museum wall, putting my own drawing into the frame: visit PhotoFunia to do the same:
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
This is the first photo in a little mini series that I did with the lovely Naomi Stothard last weekend. I had so much fun doing these photographs, as I pushed myself to create things that I would love to do on a daily basis, but cant because I don't have the necessary resources (eg: a car lol)
I went in taking the photographs not knowing what I wanted the story to tell but as I took the photos, I started to think about the idea behind each photograph. The whole series is about independance and freedom, having the will to be who you are and become who you want to be. It relates to the state I'm feeling now; I'm trying to become someone who I've always wanted to be, a better person not only mentally, but one that has the ability to be more creative and outdo himself than what he has done previously. So basically, I'm striving to be a more creative person and to push myself to think of ideas outside the box and that's why I'm really happy with the outcome of this series.
HER future portrays the idea that she's taking control of her path to what she wants to do. Eventhough there are so many different obstacles she has to overcome, her will is strong enough to understand that they are only small things she'll need to pass to reach her goal.
Thank you so much Naomi for agreeing to do this shoot and being such an great person on set and making it such a great shoot
Victor, NY. June 2021.

Heading past the stadium of changing names and towards the docklands with a funky lens.
Melbourne, Australia.
I was rushing from The Living Seas over to the World Showcase to meet up with the Pixelmania gang, but when I saw the way the sunset light was glinting off Test Track, I stopped dead in my tracks and started shooting. Luckily Monorail Coral showed up and completed the scene.
We only saw one Leopard and her cub in the Ndutu Plains, being very young her self she had very successfully raised this little guy.Ndutu Plains, Tanzania.
This train was built specifically for a display at the Surrey Museum, where it has been for the past several months. The train is built on a 9 volt chassis, and is functional. I now have it back and wanted to post a few photos to document it.
The train is intended to be a future take on the evolution of our local public transport (The Skytrain) sometime after the Apocalypse, and then militarized for transporting cargo to the space elevator.

We´ve failed. It all came true. We called them conspiracy theory, but they were not....

IC CE. I think this an Ex. Birnie unit, but unsure. Unit was repainted and looks nice. Note that like multiple other Scholastic busses, this has one yellow roof cap and one black one.

A trio of future explorers take part in a ‘rover sim’, practising driving a virtual rover across a rocky lunar landscape.
Hannah and Lukas, from Gymnasium Michelstadt, and Lilly, from the Schule auf der Aue, in Münster, were at ESA’s mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany, recently, to gain practical workplace experience.
The three worked as a team, responsible for surface operations, navigation and driving.

Il passato ed il futuro non sono realtà ma solo effimere illusioni.
Devo liberarmi del tempo e vivere il presente giacché non esiste altro tempo
che questo meraviglioso istante.
Alda Merini
In the future, he would become a handsome young man, may also become fat
Just don't hold my arms and legs to swing
I know I'll teeter, watching his face gradually climbed out the wrinkles
I like cat, sat in the warm sunshine, squint
Silently recalls this scene
Past, Present and Future pretty much sums up this picture. A set of retired highliners sit to the left in the IAIS Burr Oak yard, One of Metra's MP36PH-3S leads a outbound train into BI and to the right a group of Metra's latest and greatest Electric's lay over on a quiet Saturday.
This was my first shoot with the lovely Madison - we chatted about shooting while I was in Venice and pulled it off shortly after my return. Madison was so energized and involved in planning the shoot - I loved that. We shot at the Caldwell Train Depot on a cold night that had her turning blue. Ron Richards brought his beautiful new Harley Fat Boy and Madison did the rest. What an absolute delight to shoot with! Be aware - she is very tall. This was a great shoot - hopefully the first of many! I took these photo in March 2020.
Moon shot recently, but with a special cammera. It can capture the future. While the half-crescent looks the same as past, the whole view shows the future moon. Next century, perhaps.
Shot on April 28th, 2015 (with DSC-HX300 shooting time 120 years, 215mm/equiv. zoom 1200mm). High contrast mitigated and balanced by "HDR of the XXII century (it's quite advanced, indeed, last generation)". ;-)
a good weekend and a better future !!
Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
My personal research regarding science fiction, abandoned places and surrealistic prehistoric future.
The saga of Walgreens in Wellsville continues for really no good reason. Now Walgreens will be abandoning the Rite Aid store they took over to operate in this. They should of just left the Rite Aid alone in my opinion.
Wellsville, NY. August 2022.
