I do love a tumbledown or abandoned building, especially when nature appears to be in an advanced stage of winning all the materials back.


Clicking on any of the photos makes it full screen–well, that’s the intention anyway.

I love to see that kind of thing, too : )

Always keeping my eye out for more… fussy though, has to be the right lighting direction to!

You and Ida both love stuff like this. Beautiful shots, as always.

It’s all the textures Ellen, given the right light as well it just makes for so much interest in the shot–as well as the wider point of our marks on the world being temporary of course.

To me, they have so much history–they seem to have something to say that a building in better shape wouldn’t.

I love the pics and the black and white makes them really stunning.

Thanks Herb, I tend to favour using B/W, unless the colour is the subject, or reason, for taking a shot.

Don’t know, but it has got running water (comes in through the hole in the roof) and free flowing air which is conditioned by the environment.

I also love any ramshackle buildings where nature is reclaiming them to the earth.
Did you venture inside?

No chance! Sods law dictates that if it fell down, it would be precisely at the point of time and space that I was in there. 😉

You have just inspired me to encourage some vines to grow up over my own shed in the hopes that they will slowly and artfully demolish it. (I’m sure I can explain this project to my landlords.) But unfortunately the original edifice is nowhere near as interesting and multi-textured as this one…

Imagine the number of birds nests hidden in there, the shelter from predators, the food for the bees and insects when it flowers… These are all good reason to let some wildness take over somewhere in anyone’s garden I would say.

I also like these kind of buildings. Great photos, thanks for posting them.

Thanks, yep, someone has to take photos of them! I noticed the gates that I posted a picture of a few days ago (cornishbearsphotos.com/2020/09/27/needs-some-paint/)have been destroyed by the wind in the last couple of days, so those were probably the last ones taken of them (mainly because no one else would bother I expect).
