This is a view of part of 'l'étang bleu' - the blue pond - which has featured in my project before. Today it's the main reservoir for Paimpont but formerly it was an open-cast iron mine. This building was the ore crushing and washing facility and is normally flooded up to window level and the part which is not flooded is hidden by vegetation. I've called this image 'Revenant' - French for someone who has returned after an absence. You can see a view of the interior in my 365 album post for today.
This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: in January it's the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G on a full-frame camera (the D610 today).
@yrhenwr It's interesting you should say that David, because approaching this building is like being in a mangrove swamp. It has been invaded inside and out by trees mostly growing horizontally, their limbs blackened with normally being submerged. The stumps have grown thick tufts of 'aerial roots', presumably to take in sustenance from the water as their normal roots are embedded in rock and concrete. It's hard to do them justice in a photo but I'm going to revisit with a wide-angle lens to see if I can better capture the chaos.
