Former Lehigh Valley Railroad Station on South Side Easton, PA. Built in 1930s. There was originally a second floor but it was torn off some time ago. See older photos and postcards in my Photostream for what it looked like originally. This building is becoming more and more dilapidated as the years go by. Someone paints the lettering from time to time, probably train buffs. This could be turned into a youth center or some retail shops or even apartments.
There was, at one time, a large ape population in Pittsburgh.
This was constructed in the early 30's for the Catalano Purpura Fruit Company and the Pittsburgh Banana Company. There was a gas explosion in the ripening room in 1936, destroying half of the building while blowing out windows in the area. It also damaged the bell towers at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, which were subsequently removed.
So let's be careful with those bananas, folks.
Brooklyn Logistics Center (Ware Malcomb, ca. 2018-2021). This is one of a mirrored pair of strikingly monochromatic, dark-gray warehouses, facing each other across Atkins Avenue. They were built with an eye on "last mile" deliveries; since opening day, Amazon has been the dominant or possibly only tenant for both buildings. They don't seem to have yet become "visible" to the public imagination as avatars of online delivery, or emblems of its fraught labor politics. Perhaps the neo-Modernist blankness of these paneled facades is almost too perfect for the role; better the boxy, multicolored, style-free compositions of most contemporary warehouses and "logistics centers."
The site lies within one of the largest contiguous industrial/warehousing areas remaining in the city, and hipsters of the 2090s might be expected to make their homes here. Unfortunately for them, the area is also a flood plain, so sea level rise (sped along by all the trucking and deliveries) will likely nip that one in the bud.

Another view of the loading dock, showing an abandoned pile of semi-dressed stones brought down from the quarry above and awaiting a train that never came. The ironstone railway was finally closed down in 1929, but these stones are thought to be from earlier than that.
National Warehouse is a complex of old brick industrial / warehouse buildings in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is located at the intersection of South Water Street and an isolated leg of Bruce Street, in the Walkers Point / Fifth Ward area. A spur on the west side still sees active rail service, and other out-of-service tracks wind through the complex. Union Pacific has several other active tracks to the west and north, used for local switching and storage. This Union Pacific trackage was the route to the CNW lakefront Milwaukee station, across the nearby Milwaukee River swing bridge.
This view is looking north at some abandoned trackage that runs into a loading dock area near the east side of the complex. I'm standing near a stub of Bruce Street.
My usual lunchtime mates have started bringing their lunch to work to save money but I cannot bring myself to do so. I hate cooking and planning and beyond that, eating lunch out is about my only vice. (No movies, few vacations, little furniture, old rusty car, wait till you see my socks, this list is endless ... ) So, my point is that I am now on my own for lunch two days a week and have decided to walk with my camera and see what I can spy. I found this loading dock behind a grocery store not far from my favorite lunch place, Chipotle. I liked the symmetry of the scene and thought I could work with it. I've been wanting to play with some of the new features in Lightroom and see just how far I can take an image. I think this one went to the moon ;-)

An abandoned Hayes railroad bumping post (bumper) in the Third Ward neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At one time, the Chicago and North Western served this industrial spur. This is now a Glorioso's food warehouse at 521 East Corcoran Street, between Jefferson and Jackson. Up until about 10 or 15 years ago, Union Pacific still served a few last customers in the Third Ward, but the swing bridge to access the Third Ward is now locked in a permanent open position and the approach track has been torn up, so freight trains will likely never roll through the Third Ward again (though The Hop streetcar now serves the north end of the 3rd Ward).
Photo taken September 2022.
Original key: IMG_0996
Shot this down in Lowertown, St Paul. The architecture gave us tons of unique options for portraits and the somewhat cloudy sky made for perfect lighting (like an enormous softbox)!
Technique: Shot wide open to blur the background, added vignette in Lightroom and a yellowish split tone on top of the original colors to give it a unique coloring.

Can anyone tell me about the breed of the horse? April 22, 1938 was written on the back. This was apparently taken in Tucson, Arizona, where the Southwest Pump Co. is located.
The day before our chilly, 6am Urban Phoenix Photowalk takes place, figured I'd drop one more image from one of my excursions down there before Christmas. We'll probably be walking by this building once again and I'm hoping to find something new and different about it that I missed before.
Before I go on...I figured I'd talk a bit about clouds. Not a surprise right?
My buddy Bob Lussier (whom I apparently am in love with since I've now linked to him twice this week) is just finishing up a series he calls "Off-Season." It's a fantastic look at what the wintery season looks like up in Massachusetts and the New England area when things close down. Check out one of his latest shots.
The reason I bring it up is because without the moody, cloudy skies, I don't think he'd get the same "abandoned, off-season, winter" feelings that he conveys through those shots.
Clouds are important to the photography I enjoy. I hate blue skies. If I find a building or structure that I'm dying to shoot...I'm going to wait until I get the skies to go with it. The entire reason I was out the morning I took the above shot was the clouds. There is something magical and beautiful about the morning sun creating textures and depth in clouds like this. It draws me and moves me.
While I was setting up to take this shot, I noticed how close the airplanes were on their decent into Sky Harbor, so I waited to snap my brackets until another one was flying over. I like the image with or without the airplane, but I think it just adds something extra.

We left the foggy hills of the Marin Headlands in Sausalito, California and crossed the Golden Gate bridge back into San Francisco. The Palace of Fine Arts was along the way so we stopped and shot a few, in spite of the harsh light of the midday sun. Yes, the sun was shining in the Marina district but not at the Marin Headlands.
We went and did other things (not shooting) to kill time and picked up the camera again a couple of hours before sunset. This time we were at Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco bay, to shoot some of the things the US Navy left behind when they closed their facility on this island. There are lots of old dilapidated structures, numerous signs warning against entry, hazardous material warnings and countless broken window glass.
This is an image of an old military loading dock on Treasure Island. Like many currently usable buildings here, this one houses several businesses, one a wine business with a tasting room and another that looks like a printing company. Many small businesses are drawn here because of the relatively cheap rent and lots of space for things like parking.
Commercial development on Treasure Island will soon commence, so most of these old structures will be demolished, the area cleaned up and de-toxified, and modern structures built.
This photo is part of a series of images captured during an urban decay photowalk on Treasure Island, San Francisco, California in February of 2011.

After capturing photos of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus Parade in Tampa on Tuesday January 5, 2016, a week later, on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, I took Photographs of the Ringling Bros. & Barnum Bailey Circus (aka: Feld Entertainment) Circus Train in Orlando, Florida, while the Circus was performing at the Amway Center in Downtown Orlando, Florida.
The Amway Center is bordered on the North by W. Church Street, on the East by S. Hughey Ave. and I-4, on the South by W. South Street and on the West by S. Division Ave. The Amway Center Postal address is 400 W. Church St. #200, Orlando, FL 32801.
These photos show the Circus Wagons that were all around the AMWAY Center, some were behind the Center on South Street (along with a Trailer with some Motorcycles), some were in a parking lot located on the Southwest corner of South St. & Division St., diagonally across from the Center, and some were in a Plaza at the Southeast Corner of Church Street and Division Street.
