L is for letting go

and sometimes you don't have a choice

They demolished the Rapahoe Hall today, a pile of rubble in a couple of hours, it was one of my favorite places to escape to and take photographs, I'll miss it

[☆Rachel☆]

Great shot! Love the textures.

[Annie D]

how sad - beautiful image

[kali]

@annied i have so much letting go to do!!! I looked around my room today and thought I don't need all this crap! so tomorrow I will get some rubbish bags and bin it all lol

[Annie D]

@kali66 good luck! I am hopeless at getting rid of stuff - but doing it might be symbolic for you too

[kali]

@annied very much :) seems to be a phase I am going through lol

[Nicole]

Oh no that is horrible!! Excellent shot in b&w though!

[Mike Gifford]

Too bad about the Hall! Sounds like you're on the verge of a purge! Good luck!

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

I hate when they do that:( beautiful shot though. I love the textures and composition

[Hope D Jennings]

That is too bad! I can feel the emotion in the shot.

[Gift]

Im sorry to hear about that, lovely image despite the sadness. Great textures in it and it's amazing in b&w

Let go is the hardest thing in our family. I can only let go inside me the urge of letting go.

[Tracie Broadhead]

I hope you find another one soon!

[alta]

LLL-love all the L patterns here.

[Julie Duncan]

Cool shot! I hate it, too, when they tear down "MY" old buildings! So annoying! Don't worry - you'll find another one. :)

[Stephanie Swift]

Love your composition and textures. I hate to see old buildings demolished for something like condos (lots of that happening in Toronto just now).

[kali]

@yaorenliu i know what you mean, acceptance is the key and that is a hard thing when you want what you have to let go

[belinda]

It is sad to see old buildings demolished. I remember some of your shots taken inside this hall.

[Ethel]

Sometimes wreckers seem like vandals. A thought provoking picture

[Lara]

I suppose it is hard for others to see the beauty in old buildings its mostly about economics.

[kali]

@sundew @ethelperry @adayinmallacoota @tristansmum @juliedduncan well it was flying apart in the wind! seems a pity but we salvaged some of the wood before they took it to the dump. people don't use halls much these days, there is another under threat in the next town too.

[Angela Martel]

L is for LOVE

[Lis]

I love this, you are so creative

[Suse♡]

I really like this, the composition is spot on and the b&w makes it moody. Letting go is sometimes always easy but sometimes it´s necessarily to do so. I am in a middle of move and I´m getting rid of a lot of stuff, most of them never used, I don´t believe I will even remember most of them a year from now

[summerfield]

maybe then you will "see" another place to photograph. i have no wise words about letting go except put your thoughts in writing, it will help in some ways. lovely details in b&w. i'm liking them now, these monochrome shots.
