The Scrapyard

Post by pauly » Sun Jun 19, 2011 4:26 pm

On the site of the old pottery factory there now sits a scrapyard, a place of sadness and dereliction with a feeling of an approaching end.
The unwanted relics of another generation sit within this place, awaiting the end with a dignity befitting their legacy.

You are not letting that Mamod rot away are you?? Love the shot of the mamod open wagon amongst the undergrowth, looks superb...

Superb set of photo's Pauly! Looks like the "landscape" is really maturing nicely and the way you've laid out the scrapyard is spot-on!
Great stuff!
