Urban Renewal ?

Two of a series of shots I got today from a neighborhood that is being razed in the name of progress.

Thanks. I had a really hard time trying to decide how to crop that one.

I like em both, the stairs to nowhere are great particularly with the critter on top lol....the second shot is a good social commentary about obsession with 'lookin good' and the discarded childhood toy.

Thanks bikerider, I didn't notice the squirrel when I took the shot, but thought it interesting when I saw it.

great captures Kenny

something sad about the toy being left like it
somebody loved him once and maybe misses him
the magazines strewn around leave a mess behind (by whoever)
but add an interesting ( lol ) look to the scene


the critter is really small (sharp eyes to spot him by bikerider)
great you caught him in the shot
maybe he wants to be friends with the soft , still smiling, toy

Thanks Marie. I have more shots I'll post soon, but this was only a small part of the "rubble" in the area. One other shot here:

Wow, now that's a mess! What's happening here? Was it forceful eviction?

Yes basically, the residents of this mobile home park were told they had to move by then end of the month. The heavy equipment (seen in the background if the first one) is already dragging the homes into piles of rubble and hauling them to the dump as others try to continue living there.

It's the whole area which is across the street from a major new development.

Here's a couple more for now:

Hmmm, I'm seeing them here, maybe a temporary glitch one place or the other??
