Left Behind

Throughout downtown and some of the older areas if the city you will come across abandoned buildings. Here were a few that have recently been vacated just east of the centre of downtown

[Sheralee S]

It's always a shame to see abandoned buildings. The one on the left looks quite interesting.

[Tony]

I guess it has to happen eventually. You wonder at the dreams of the people who built it. Very thought provoking capture. Fav

[Candace]

I always hate to see this, perhaps they will be renovated again soon!

[Lisa]

Don't you find that downtown areas have a hard time making a go of it these days? Big box stores have really taken us away from the core of the town. Hopefully there will be some urban renewal in this area.

[Jane Anderson]

They seem like they would be good candidates for renovation!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Bill Fenske]

love the b&w edit on this one Brian

[gloria jones]

Great b&w shot...you've captured the bleakness of abandoned bldgs

[Gayle Sears]

I think it's kind of sad that new buildings keep springing up and many sit empty. These are nice in b&w.

[Mickey Anderson]

lots of character to this shot...the fence says it all!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Too bad- they look like they'd be quite useful. Good shot!

[alia_801]

Nicely captured. I think it's the same story everywhere :(

[Dione Giorgio]

They will probably make way to high-risers -that is the fashion of the day, even if they are not needed.

[Babs]

Sad to see abandoned buildings, but maybe one day the site will be cleared and new building will spring up in their place.

[Colleen Culhane]

B&W is a good choice for this.

[Shirley Banford]

Sad scene.

[Susan]

It is a sad scene and the b&w is a good choice. Nice comp and POV.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very interesting shot and it's sad to see places get old and decay.

[Taffy]

This kind of scene always makes me sad -- I get the sense of a once vibrant area providing jobs and roots to people, now abandoned and lonely.

[Karin Hirsch]

Your shot expresses the feeling of desertion very well

[Dinah Pinkston]

These buildings look sturdy; and from the amount of cars parked near them, this area must still be well-used. I hope that this area will be revitalized and re-landscaped soon!

[Stephanie Swift]

You caught the slight bleakness and sadness of these buildings. B&w works well for this shot, fav for me.

[Milanie]

Wonderful for b&w - fits the mood of the shot. I've seen so many older buildings restored in downtown areas - do hope that happens here.

[Darlene]

It is always sad to see this happen. The tall one on the right reminds me of where I grew up.

[Kim]

Great shot and processing!
