More vegetation in odd places,, broken windows and signage. Apparently King County Solid Waste Management Division is the current owner. On my to-do list is to find a contact inside the organization to field some of my questions.

Deserted Side Streets of Gowanus

When you see grass growing in places it normally wouldn’t, it is a good bet that nature is on the march, slowing taking back the property that once was used by people. Graffiti, rust and grass/weeds are benchmarks of abandonment, I think. 

Monday Metalwork
These objects were spotted in front of what could be an artist’s studio/residence in Gowanus.



Vacancy
A vacant building near the Gowanus Canal (Brooklyn). 
Downtown Brooklyn in the distance in the lower image, which has the canal in the foreground. All of this area flooded during Sandy.
Rusty Building
Rusty, deserted building in Portland, Or. This image was taken from quite a distance with a 70-200mm lens, which is why the quality is not what I would have liked. Having said that, I still thought the colors of the building, as it is in this state of decay, were interesting.
