urban decay 4 Wuppertal district Barmen

Although I like the simplicity of #5, I'm particularly drawn to this one with its implicit question about what's around the corner. I'm drawn into the light and what is beyond.

Greetings, Marilyn

Thank you very much Marilyn. I took a look at one of my forgotten pictures and had a theme directly in my mind. I am living in district Vohwinkel 50 meters away from the destruction but it is cheap. What can I say. But what I can say is, this is behind the corner. And here is a close up of a sign hanging in this backyard of garages. The sign is typical for Germany. A country full of regularisations.

Thank you very much and greetings,

Carsten

Ist eine hochinteressante Serie geworden! Der bröcklige Stein kommt gut in S/W.

Thank you e.m.r., due to the fact that in these narrow streets the light is missing I decided to make a B/W out of it. In hope for an improvement of the structure of the wall.

Thank you mossip for your visit. I made a duotone out of the picture to get more details in the midtone scale without burning out the lighter parts. And the other part of the entrance is very close to it.

Greetings,

Carsten

I'll join the queue Carsten and say there is something very special about this one.

Thank you Palmina. We walk some many times through our city and see areas that are abandoned or in a bad shape that I thought why not taking them on a photo. Google (Panoramio) is selling our pictures to different internet sites. And one of the biggest buyers is a site called "Rentocamp". They advertise their camping sites with pictures of the areas. So I think it must be funny to see a camping site advertising with damaged walls. This picture is not taken yet but I am pretty sure it will. I will have fun.

Greetings,

Carsten
