Where industry ends and nature begins...

This is an odd place of shadowy foliage... a small courtyard between the 200-foot tall cement walls of the Nightmare, and a crumbling 20-story brick building beside it.

As I stood on an old rusty fire-escape stairs to take the photograph(s), I was overwhelmed with the creepy silent atmosphere here...

distant banging metal noises and whistling wind from far above...

pigeon 'coos' softly from lower levels.

It felt to me like some statement being made here by the juxtaposing 'decayed industry' and 'natural order' colliding.

The abandoned grain elevator is old and has been condemned for 20 years, and it seemed that 'natural order' was winning the battle...

... slowly but surely. :earth:

HDRi from three images.

If you'd like, please have a gander at my mini-gallery devoted to Still Life Conceptual photography.

thanks for your interest! :)

=O I half-expect someone to come tumbling out of that chute-like thing.

=O What's that chute for, in that case? Do you think you'd have found something in it if you climbed in? o-o
