Revenant take 3 - Puddle Stamps Building Interior

My two posts 27 January of the ruined mine building attracted some interest so I went back today with a wide-angle lens to better show the extent of Mother Nature's reclamation of this site

This is part of the interior of the iron-ore crushing and washing facility - the Puddle Stamps building. The building sits at the edge of 'l'étang bleu' - the blue pond - formerly an open-cast iron mine but now Paimpont's main reservoir. It is normally flooded up to window level (the blackened part of the tree limbs shows the normal water level) and can't be visited but we're suffering a winter drought and the reservoir level is 2-3 metres below where it should be. I took advantage of that to create a photographic record of the building 106 years after its closure.

This needs to be viewed on black for best effect.

This looks to be a very difficult area to walk through. It does make for a very interesting photo along with your history of the site. Excellent on black.

Wow! Just love the way the moss glows when viewed on black. The depth of the image is just stunning.

[Terri Campbell]

What an interesting place! I could spend hours there, love what you've captured here!

[Graeme Stevens]

awesome

[Scott Houston]

Great shot, Richard -- thanks for taking the time to get in and take the shot (you are right about the black).

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful capture and will probably never be scene like this again.

[Claes]

How lucky for you that you have such chance to explore an interesting place. And how Lucky for us that you document it so well.

[Margo Sayer]

All the more fascinating for being out of bounds.
Is GS already morphing this into a future backdrop? @graemestevens

[Karl]

This is brilliant. So much to look at, it really draws you in.

Wide angle does work very well. Mother Nature wins in the end.
