Past life
by snaffles

Comment:
past life for sure .
it really brings it home that a lot of the things we really value .. of a material nature .. maybe not as important as we think ..
as time moves on and our lives evolve will we value that 'thing' that means so much to us now at some future time .. often not at all .
this is a great image btw .. :)

loving the brickwork .. looks like it took a lot of love and patience to create this building ..
what a great find . :)

trail

i suppose you will get comments that this is more about the path than the abandoned buildings .. but i dont see it that way at all .
the path is leading us there .. and altho the buildings arent a huge element in the image .. i do feel something doesnt have to be a huge element to be an important one .. i like the sunlight, the shadows and how you have suggested rather than shown us the full story . :)

Not much remains
by Ammie

Comment:
and yet . !! .
if we look and look there's a heap remaining ..
atmosphere for one .. history for two .. things that arent of a physical nature ..
it sometimes comes across as a sad thing seeing an abandoned building .. like we are personifying it in a way .. if that's the right term ... when in reality it has served its purpose and ppl have moved on ..
i like to think positive .. so i imagine they have moved on to something excellent and life affirming .. :)

Chased Away?
by PenelopeK

Comment:
so i read your title and wondered what it meant .
then the tree became a real element in the image and i felt that the tree might be the aggressor ..
loving the shadows on the building .. :)

Open office concept
by markwiley

Comment:
hahaha .. like your title ..
and your pic aint bad either .
what a great find .
its interesting to see the bare bones .. so to speak ..
and so many levels to peak into .
so much history here .
i reckon this building would have some stories to tell .. and i also reckon they would be extremely varied .. :)
