Nature Reclaims Civilization

[Pat Garrett]

A topic proposed as result of the current POTW – images of nature reclaiming civilization.

Tree reclaiming it’s place in spite of fencing

Our property boundary was marked by the old white nob electrical fencing: 2014 (prior to this the entire nob was visible)

2019:

An old mill being reclaimed

[Marty E]

Excellent shot, Patrick! Where is this?

[Patrick]

Thank you , this is an old linen mill not far from my home in Belfast

[Pat Garrett]

It’s about to become a jungle, Patrick.

[Patrick]

It sure is Pat , here is another view 

[Pat Garrett]

Like this a lot, @patrickw

[Patrick]

Thank you very much Pat , it won’t be long before they take that building down to build houses on the land , the old place has been set on fire a number of times now and gets lots of anti social activity in and around it.

[Pat Garrett]

Similar here.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love places like these. Hope they let it be. Great photo Patrick 🙂

[Patrick]

Thank you Dahlia , i love mooching around in places like this and wondering about its past history although it can get spooky lol 🙂

 

[Marty E]

I especially love the one with the tree sporting a pair of colored sunglasses 🙂 They are individuals too!

 

[Pat Garrett]

@martye the sunglasses were actually part of a project. “One Subject in Many Places” using one object of choice (the sunglasses) over the course of a year.

[beth]

i know i’ve posted this one before.

[Pat Garrett]

I surely fits.

[Pat Garrett]

I really liked it when I first saw it. Seeing it again is wonderful @loki

[JasenkaG]

Love this! Looks like some sort of nature-loving superhero car!

[Pat Garrett]

Park it, leave it, and nature takes over.

[Erik Fransman]

Off Road.

[Pat Garrett]

Definitely off the road.

[Beaky]

Wow, that is a 1969 K1 750 worth some coin restored. Nature has looked after her well too!

 

[Pat Garrett]

Likely rusted into the earth by now – acres of mostly vintage motorcycle parts and pieces.

[Erik Fransman]

[Dahlia Ambrose]

This is awesome Erik 🙂

[Erik Fransman]

Thanks Dahlia. It’s in Curacao.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Thank you for that information Erik 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Fantastic, Erik

[Pat Garrett]

Another “off road” – been off long enough for weeds to choke the interior

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Wow! Amazing Pat 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Abandoned ferry

[Pat Garrett]

Oh my.. What stories it could tell.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Thank you Pat 🙂

[Patrick]

[Beaky]

Wow, some great shots here and I would imagine some great stories behind them all too!

[Pat Garrett]

These look so spooky!

[Patrick]

Your right Pat when i got back to the main road i was happy again 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Looks like a great spot for a campfire and as beer.

[Patrick]

haha i would be constantly looking over my shoulder while gripping a big stick 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Oh wow! That first photo looks terrific Patrick. I can spend hours in this place and keep going back. Wonder how amazing it will look when it’s foggy 🙂

[Patrick]

Certainly worth a trip under fog .. will take note and see if i can return with those conditions Dahlia 🙂

[Michael]

Wonderful images, everyone. One can only imagine what the Chernobyl region looks like after 36 yrs of isolation. Nature will surely take back what is rightly hers after humanity is gone.

[David Chesterfield]

From a  timber logging camp on K’Gari (Fraser Island)

 

[Patrick]

Good find David , looking at this photo brings home how bad waste rubber is for the environment .. the whole machine has attracted some form of sea life what looks like shells or seaweed which is a good thing but the rubber is free from life of any type and yet it will last for much longer than the metals on the machine itself.

[Robert Apple]

This is awesome David.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Great find David 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Nature will reclaim it’s habitat – eventually, wherever,and in spite of humans.

[Robert Apple]

Traffic Jam on The Express Way
Still shooting with the vintage 50mm
Click it and it gets BIGGER

[Patrick]

Nice one Robert , i wonder who and why 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Patrick from what I can tell they are all 1930’s Fords so they’ve been  there a long time, looks like a flood must have washed out the land and changed the course of the creek burying these old cars in the process.

[Patrick]

Thank you for that , i love these old cars from that era 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

What an interesting place and story. Hard to tell all that from the image.

[Tobie]

Love these shots!

[Pat Garrett]

Good to see you Tobie and thanks for looking and commenting.
