This is more like my man unmade object. This is an old junior high that they decided to tear down instead of re-use. I thought it was funny how it went well with my topic of man made objects. Seems like humans can build and unbuild so easily.

Indeed, what a monument to our insatiable appetite for growth and development! On the other hand I've always thought this would be a great job! If only we got to rebuild with parks and wildlife refuges instead of malls and parking lots. I like this shot a lot, though you've lost some detail in the shadows.

I like to watch buildings go up but I'm even more fascinated by them being torn down. These buildings probably have had some amazing things happen in them.

The picture has good color and sharpness, although I'm losing a bit of the building in the shadows. Does PSP have some type of shadow/highlight tool? You may want to try that. Also, the fence is a minor distraction; I've found that with P&S many times you can walk up to a fence and literally stick the lens through and totally avoid it. Then again, maybe the the dogs were dragging you!

I'm amazed at your construction techniques over there. So different from here. Nice clarity and sharpness Jess.

I love demolition! It always seems like the people who do this are big kids. They built their sandcastle, now time to knock it down.

yup, make 'em and un-make 'em. A vicious circle that keeps the architects and construction workers employed. Nice photo
