Ex military buildings at discovery park








































































Well the military has gone and some buildings in great shape with desks chairs and tables remain.
These buildings are in perfect shape, for now.
Doesn't take long to have a building begin to succumb to the nature outside and lack of human activity inside.
The energy is gone that perhaps once kept the nature more at bay.
It's like a border were it not maintained opposing forces no longer meet, the building can relinquish to nature.
I had a Danish friend who once told me that if buildings were left vacant and not made available for homeless to shelter within a certain amount of time,  the owner was then taxed.
I like this idea.
that  might make me a communist here in America or just as disgusting a socialist , but there you go.

Chapel and a few more from Fort Lawton







so we did a sunny day walk at discovery park with small camera and more the intention to walk then document or take visual note. did pass the chapel which we hadn't the first time - and saw the radar tower from behind. watch a dog chase a big black rabbit through the brambles- did not look like a wild rabbit but a big domestic house version, cheers ladies breaking leash laws. so with these canon images is a return to the 3 jpg HDR as opposed to the raw image HDR. i prefer the former to the later and have hence earmarked a good tripod as a necessity. my present tripod was given to me by my mothers mother = Tonawanda nana as she lived in Tonawanda and she was my nana. anyways it was a wonderful gift and has served me for 14 years now i need something heavy duty. that doesn't mean i am dissing the present tripod it will always hold a place in the menagerie of photographic supplies.

Historic District, Fort Lawton

we did not intentionally end up where we weren't meant to be
Stables


Gymnasium Postal Exchange

looking towards the old stables
it's gorgeous, I'll take it- there are pigeons in the upstairs? bonus.

Radar tower

yes, we grew that tree to complement the stairs
