You have seen the mills as a subject of my project many a time. Well one of them burned this weekend. I did not rush to take pictures while it was burning but went by this morning to see how close I could safely get. This building is in danger of collapsing. It will change the look of the mill pictures I post. Three boys have been arrested for arson.
This is such a sad end to the productive life of this building.. folk out of work and hardship nipping at heels.. All because of some selfish and irresponsible behaviour.
i hope they put them away for quite some time..
Btw, it IS a good shot, great perspective and detail..
@joansmor That's a different complexion but still a waste of a good building.. AND so thoughtless and a thoroughly dangerous thing to do.. animals/humans could have been sheltering in there.
Firefighters have enough dangerous jobs to attend without mindless morons adding to the difficulties, totally unnecessary..
@joansmor
I wonder if we only realise how attached we are to buildings when we have them no more. It's one thing for a building to be demolished in the interests of health and/or safety. Wanton destruction, endangering our environment, homes, workplaces, leisure sites etc. is an activity that needs must be punished. No high horse, rather justifiable disappointment in humanity.
Get Pushed? Howzabout something of your Scrapping activity? Am thinking more about the process, choices, assembly etc. rather than a finished product. Say No with impunity, and I'll whisk up,something else;-)

How or what, Joan, is in your gift. I can change the 'gift' if you wish.
