NF-SOOC Day 21: Disused Dock at Blaye

Blaye - as well as being famous for its Bordeaux wine - was once a major inland port... but no longer, as you can see.

This is for my annual NF-SOOC September challenge - you can read all about it here: https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/42451/nf-sooc-september-2019

Sittin' at the dock of Blaye? Watching the tide roll away?

super!

[Kathy]

Sad to see so many big industrial sites sitting empty.

[Marnie]

Gotta give this an instant fav. Love industrial heritage and your b&w treatment is 'just right'.

[haskar]

For me it's a very nostalgic view. It was the end of romantic traveling. Then came the age of containers.
Great choice in b&w. Fav.

@carla42 LoL... shame that it's pronounced 'Bly' !

[Margo Sayer]

Industrial past & wasteland sympathetically represented.

[Walks @ 7]

An excellent composition, the leading lines and PoV give wonderful scale to this un-used piece of the past.

A super shot of this industrial scene - so sad to see such derelict sites.

Love it, it's a fine shot Fav. Sad though it is, I do like to see b/w shots of industrial waste-land. If you are within easy reach of such sites could this be the first of a series? You could make repeated visits to this one to document the sea encroaching!

@lostphojo Thanks David, but at 550 km from home I shan't be making frequent visits! Actually, I thought you would have preferred yesterday's image.

[David]

@vignouse Oops! Sorry Richard, I missed it! As a 'pure' image yesterdays is a clean neat and very well composed image but I prefer this as it tells a good story. Sure it's a bit messy but I like that about it. No idea you were so far from home
