Industrial Town Eksthetic part Trois, last one, I promise
(Last of part Trois anyway.) (Click for big pic.)
My own favorite here is perhaps the top one, gate and razorwire. (But obviously I have some liking for all of them in some aspect, otherwise I wouldn't post them.)
Although it may also be attracting my attention over here because I have not seen it in Denmark, so when I first came here, it struck me as being both visually striking, and very hostile looking.
... Well, this was photographed on a Sunday morning...
But it's clear that a potential thief has at least a couple of well-prepared barriers to go through. Maybe this area or country has or had pretty bad crime. In the sandblasting company I worked in, in DK in the eighties, the closing up consisted of driving the fork lift inside and turning a small lock. And there was often lots of industrial steel and so forth on an open lot outdoors, no fence at all.
Yes,
ReplyDeleteI like the top one. You've shattered my vision of England, however, with all the razor wire.
It's just in the industrial areas.

I'm guessing they are quite the barrier. Unless you're prepared and brought a thick rug and a ladder.
ReplyDeleteSome of the sites don't look very active, so, to what end? Climbing over, I mean. As photographers, yes, but we will probably only take images.

What you show off as urban decay art photography they actually believe is a tourist attraction in California...
