beautiful decay

Thursday 2 June 2011

Last weekend I had a little adventure back to my homeland! Looking round a derelict space it struck me how beautiful the decay was. I love this old rusty switch, which to me looks like a face.


 Peeling off paint makes a fantastic texture






in the most beautiful colours, pinks and mustards and creams



Nature reclaiming the man made, strange to see wallpaper in a domestic space but plants growing where the carpets should be. Quite eerie.

  3. Wondeful. The green carpet reminded me of a story I was told about a woman who scattered lawn seed over her ex-husband's carpet ..then watered it... and shut it up for the summer while he and his lover were away travelling!

  5. Phwoar! Lovely, you might enjoy the 28 days later forum, they take lovely pictures of abandoned buildings and things, very ghostly and faded. I think it's just 28dayslater.co.uk enjoy!
