Abandoned building, Gyles' Quay, Dundalk, Ireland
I can’t resist the aesthetic of abandoned buildings. Yes, I know it’s a photographic cliche but there was something about this particular building that caught my attention. This was a house that had surrendered to the inevitable, engulfed by weeds and brambles and sinking beneath a tidal wave of vegetation, yet somehow it remained stoic and dignified. A personification of managed decline and acceptance in stone and slate.
For the photographers amongst you, I agree, I should have used a graduated filter or at least bracketed the exposure for the sky. On the plus side, the bleached out sky emphasises the symmetry and shape of the house.

Hi Jeff,
The title refers to a story by the American Science fantasy writer, Kurt Vonnegut. I think ‘Something wicked this way comes’ was made into a short film. It was based on a sinister ‘circus or fair’ that came to town.
