Urban landscape ~ 1 by seanoneill

Urban landscape ~ 1

A departure from my Loughborough series today.

I had to pop to the Audi dealer in Nottingham, so took a drive through the Clifton Estate. I spotted this old garage which has been closed for years and is now overgrown with weeds. Towering above it are an old peoples home on the right and a tower block on the left.

Hopefully a series I can add more to if I get the chance to visit our 3 local cities in the weeks and months ahead.

As Mark says, lots of detail if you press the big button.
Cracking B&W shot, lovely detail viewed large

Gritty, neglected urban stuff.

Urban decay makes a great subject when you see past the debris and junk. Well done Sean.

Quite bleak! But I like it...

Excellent...love how you used the three buildings in the composition and the processing is spot on...a Fav for me!

Great detail. Looks very bleak

This is a really effective shot. Fav! It actually reminds me of some of the photos from the Chernobyl disaster lol.

A very good urban shot, and your current series is making me realise I need to take my camera out with me more when I go to places like derby. Fav

Outstanding shot-- and looks cool magnified :)

Great details and atmosphere. Beautiful.

Certainly a gritty capture. How depressing to be looking out on this.

Nice, could be part of an urban decay series

Incredible piece.

The blocky building and foreground weeds are so different than the larger buildings. None are very attractive, but together they make an image worth studying.

What a forlorn place this looks, great comp and of course perfect b&w. Not a part of Nottingham we came across when our daughter was at uni there. This image saddens me but makes me realise how lucky I am to live somewhere beautiful.

I thought that this was the Audi dealership and thought that business must be bad. Great gritty piece, Sean. Keep thinking how cool it is that you have Costco, too. Love how small the world becomes with 365.

Another desolate scene, architecture so bleak and soulless and the one place once full hope and activity, the garage, closed down and decaying. Superb image Sean.

Great shot, love it in B&W, awesome detail as well.

love love LOVE - - a fav. I am a sucker for urban blight. I like the contrast in this and the juxtaposition of the other still-in-use buildings.
January 30th, 2014  
great grittiness in this - real feeling of desolation with those decaying garages in the foreground
